#11 Bowers & Wilkins Formation Flex: £449 each Bowers & Wilkins eBay
Pros: A compact wireless speaker that can operate alone or as a synchronized stereo pair, with AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect and 24-bit/96kHz Formation streaming. ASR predicts a 5.53 preference score with a subwoofer, 62Hz in-room extension and respectable 0.192 on-axis smoothness.
Cons: It is expensive per stereo pair and locked to app/network-based playback with no conventional analog input. The measured response has a +0.42dB-per-octave rise, only moderate 0.239 in-room smoothness, and a subwoofer is needed for full-range output.
How it compares: Just above it: Fiio SP3. Just below it: Klipsch ProMedia Lumina.
