I was at Best Buy a while back looking at PC speakers, and this salesman guy asked if I was a music fan and I said yeah, and we started talking music. He got real excited and said I had to check out this new wireless speaker. I already knew about Bose, so I was expected something along those lines. This is what he showed me:

It's a little bigger than an average sized shoebox. Guys I tell ya what, I've been around all kinds of music for most of my life, from bands to car audio to house stereos, etc and I have never in my life heard anything as impressive out of such a small package. This thing cranks like a mofo. It will literally replace your home stereo. Probably the only thing it wouldn't be good for is all out low bass, but for any other music it sounds incredible. The display was setup to play Metallica's Enter Sandman, and it thumped hard as hell on the drums, you could feel it in your chest.

But, it's also $400

I got a Harmon Kardon onyx studio at BB. They sell it for $399, got them to price match it for $169 through Amazon. Sounds excellent and has that low bass rumble most BT speakers lack.

I have a Sonos 3, seems similar to this, and its pretty nice as well. But yeah, the only problem with these things is the price tag.
