What is the difference between the A7 and Zepplin Air besides a $400 spread? I just bought the ZEAIRLC for $400, and it also has 5 speakers.

Hello, the A7 uses your WIFI network, and it has a better sound quality. Not sure if the price difference is worth it buy they are both great products, cheers!

The A7 is in a different game. The A7 provides you with 1 more inch of subwoofer, better frequency range, and a sound stage comparable to audiophile equipment. The A7 can fill a large room whereas the Zepellin will feel less adequate. The Zepellin's aesthetic is a love or hate situation while the A7 brings much less attention. To make a statement in a very small room I'd say go with the Zepellin. If sound is more important and form factor is irrelevant go with the A7. For $400 more you can buy another set of Zepellin or even a Bose. The A7 is as high as you can go in iPod docks.

I own both and the A7 sounds much better and much more volume audiophile quality.

I have both sets; used the ANC7 for about 4 years, now have been using ANC9 for about 1 year. The biggest difference in sound is that ANC9 have a much stronger bass. The noise cancellation is comparable, with ANC9 being marginally better.

All I know is for $104 they blow away the more compact PA tl2 and tl3 that cost more. They put out tons of clear midrange sound. I have to go into my Denon receiver menu and turn them down just a bit. And my Ascend acoustic front Bookshelf speakers are no slouch's.

Let's put it this way: The Sony SS-B3000 bookshelf speakers are about a 5/10 speaker (decent), for $36 apiece. The SSF-5000s are about 6.5/10 (respectable), for around $50 apiece. The SSF-6000s are about 7/10 (good) for $60 apiece. The SSF-7000s are about 7.5/10 (very good) for $85 apiece. From there, prices on speakers pretty much increase geometrically. An 8/10 will cost you about $150, an 8.5/10 $300, a 9/10 $600, a 9.5/10 about $1200. From there, it goes way into the thousands, and probably only dogs could hear the difference anyway. Can *you* hear the difference between, say, a 7.5 and a 9 speaker? Yes, mostly likely if you're under 45 and have at least a $500 amp. Is buying speakers better than the SSF-7000 the *most effective* way to spend your audio/entertainment $$$? Probably not...unless you already have a $500 amp, a 192K sound card, a $200 sub, a quad-core PC that Passmarks at over 5K, etc.

Both amps are nice and both are 7.1 vs the 5.1. Can't imagine them not having an option to set up for 5.1. Or you could buy two more satillite speakers for it. But the klipsch speakers are amazing sound! You won't hurt the speakers if you hook up to the 7.1 if that is your concern.

I don't own P7 but loan from a friend who does. I will say that P7 is a Different can compare to this. Beyer is more open as it is a open design but P7 will have more define mids n low

The Sony STR-DH130 two-channel receiver is a great buy and will easily drive this speaker. Preferable to the Sherwood, in my opinion. The Lepai is the way to go for something truly cheap, but you need to purchase a different wallwart (power supply) than the wimpy 2A model which comes with it, and though it is rated at 20wpc (impossible for it to do with the included wallwart - order one about 5A), the distortion gets really high really fast beyond about 10wpc. Also, it's long-term reliability may be suspect. If you can stretch your budget just a little, the Sony is the best value receiver.

I have the a2+ and they are just amazing. They don't need a sub but I got one. If you have the extra $ I would get the a2

It was two speakers, new in box, I think they cost $600 or $700 each normally, I play them a lot and play them loud and nothing in the world is better than BA, nothing. I still have my A200's from 1978.

Memphis car audio (Reference Audio), XTC, Targa, and Digital Designs all make themselves look good on paper. The only amp I have seen and heard are the Memphis (Reference) and a Sound Stream blew the Reference away. Your looking at all cheap equipment, sorry to say. The Pioneer may have good price, but as far as performance, the Pioneer will put out. May damage your 5x7 and I know will blow your Lightning Audios. I'm running Pioneer amps, but with Infinity components. On my Pioneer Mono amp, for fun I took a Audiobon sub that said it was 1000watts RMS and blew it up in 3 minuets. Never look at Peak Power of any car audio. You want to look at RMS Power. Rockford has become a crap product in its years. They use to be good back in the 90's. Hate to tell you, but Lightning Audio is worst. Lightning Audio distorts even at mid volume. If your wanting to build a system, save your money and do it right. I'm not trying to sound like an a@@ but your looking for trouble using cheap amps and speakers. As far as comparing Pioneer to the others you asked. If you don't know or under stand Watts Peak and RMS or ohms and amperage I would be talking Chinese to you. All I can say is the amps you are looking at are cheap crap...

If space is not a problem I would go with the 163's. As far as sound and quality you will not notice a difference even if you had both units . either one you chose, they are great speakers !

Both are excellent speakers, but my vote has to go to theZ623s: more power; larger, stronger woofer; better warranty; treble and midrange are comparable. I own both, and I'm happy with both, but the Z623s come out on top in my opinion. And don't forget that they're ususally less expensive. I bought both of mine around Christmas of 2012 at Best Buy. Paid $89 for one, $99 for the other. Check out this review: http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/reviews/135928-five-2-1-speaker-set-comparison.html

Dear Customer,The 7008 is a GREAT VALUE. The 7009 has the added ability to support Dolby atmos as well as the added connectivityWith WIFI, And Bluetooth built in however the 7008 is a great receiver/amplifier. We have both the 7008 and 7009 in stock. Thanks!

Not sure how good the a33 was but the a26 went back. It sounded awful. Much to thin for my enjoyment. I had the q35 as well and returned it as it was too boomy (over emphasized bass). I picked up the UE Boom and am very happy. It has 15 hours battery life vs. the 6 from TDK. I got the Boom 20%off at a local wireless carrier store. I highly recommend not buying the a26. It's cheaper but the sound is pretty bad when compared to similar devices like the jawbone mini.

As long as you have a decent sub that fits an average sized room, you'll probably like these. They compliment all types of music and are great for movies in that they're not overly bright like some other value speakers. Unless you're ready to pay considerably more, Steven. I think the PL-76's are probably a good choice and similar to my HT-75's in sound. I don't think I'd ever part with my 5.1 Acoustech system, they're that good! - Enjoy...David L.

I've had my eye on this set of speakers for a while, and it keeps fluctuating between $250 and $300. I'm sure it'll fall again if you wait a bit.There's no direct competitor to the Z-5450s, so there's probably still considerable demand for it.

I just bought 2 extra monoprice premium speakers and used them to make up the 7.1. Amazon sells them in separate pairs. Hope this helps.
