#2 B&W Zeppelin: $899 each Discontinued eBay
Newer model: the B&W Zeppelin Pro, ranked higher, rated 4.4/5.
Pros: Amazingly neutral, quite a wide soundstage due to the width. Bass extension deeper than all others in category. Measured bass extension of ~32Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Nothing besides the lack of battery, lack of waterproofing, high cost and the Earfun Uboom X that’s so close to it in terms of sound quality for 7x less money. Basically an indoor only speaker. At this price point the Top Recommended Bookshelf Speakers are the better buy, with even better soundstage. Discontinued.
How it compares: Just above it: B&W Zeppelin Pro. Just below it: Sonos Five - $304 cheaper.
