Radio stations, the corresponding folders on your computer and the NAS as a source (in my particular case, a Seagate BlackArmor) can be controlled easily. Unfortunately, you can save too little transmitter in my opinion. Due to the diversity that so brings the Internet to broadcasters with it, one or the other option would have there more not hurt. This trifle will not affect the final result.
For Sound: Who knows Bose know that the sound is often bassy. The middle notes are here always somewhat neglected. But this is by far not new but for years, of transition and give. Whoever is directing its criticism on buying either here his first Bosesystem or is a notorious complainer or always looking for the fly in the ointment.
No matter where in the room you posted this system, the sound is brutal and room-filling. I got it for experimental purposes times in the corner, sometimes under the table, sometimes behind the couch and sometimes placed directly behind the TV but the sound always remained the same. Voluminous and a treat for the ears!
Quite interesting is the case when one calls his own more of these boxes. I have in addition to SoundTouch 30, who has found at home in my living room its place, a sound Touch 20 installed in the bedroom. These can be logically operate separately.
Bringing these two systems but sometimes in harmony, can be found here powerful get an earful! With me are two other rooms between the living room and the bedroom. Here I am now pretty much in the middle, is the sound I still perceive in the other rooms, still a delight.
On the subject of AirPlay I can not comment on due to lack of hardware.
The decor of all the components is to accomplish in my opinion, from an elementary school student. Furthermore, I think, one should not start for the sake of fairness, to compare this system with other systems that can cost well many times.
That would be just as if I were 10 with a system from the nearest supermarket compare the Bose Acoustimass around the corner. As should be limited with the comparisons already on same price segment. And since I have honestly not found a real competition! As I said everything from the point that you know what kind of sound you get when you buy Bose!
Conclusion: Whether as single box or in conjunction with other boxes this SoundTouch 30 my opinion, a treat for the ears. The price / performance ratio is absolutely justified here when you look at what at what price so throw other manufacturers on the market. From me, there are five stars and an unrestricted recommendation to buy !!!
