THE BEST WIRELESS SPEAKER – BOWERS & WILKINS ZEPPELIN WIRELESS

This is not practical.  This is expensive, probably the best wireless speaker you can buy. Sorry, I just couldn’t help myself, I love great music on great equipment.



Zeppelin

The new Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin has upgraded capabilities, possibly most noteable is the addition of Bluetooth and Spotify Connect.

Apple Airplay via Wi-Fi had been the only connect method, adding Bluetooth makes this top-end speaker agnostic.  Apple or Android.

The design is beautiful and functional.

The unit contains two outward firing tweeters – the ends of the Zeppelin.

It has five drivers, each with a Class D amp.  Four 25-watters power two 3.5 inch mid-rangers and the two double-dome tweeters.

50 watts power the 6.5-inch woofer.

This speaker can be very loud with great bass.
An array of chips power the digital signal processing.  All inputs are upsampled to high resolution (24bit/192kHz) before processing.

At $700, the Zeppelin is a luxury.
