Was just wondering whether anyone had some ideas for a cheap (ideally less than £250), small, wall-mountable, RAAT-enabled wifi speaker to go in a small but noisy kitchen? I’d happily consider an RPi combo if that made sense, though the less wires and gadgets the better. Needs to be RAAT as will be grouped with another nearby zone.
The BS Flex is the obvious option and sounds good to me. However BS devices seem to have an objection to my WiFi (unlike every other device), plus I’ve had some other issues with an existing Flex.
Thanks everyone for all your thoughts - looks like RPi + passive speaker may be the way to go - anyone have any experience of small speakers in this price bracket? The smaller the better (to maintain domestic harmony)! @maniac the dynaudio look really good but a bit large for this and slightly over budget. @seagull - have you heard the Edifier? On the face of it looks like you get a lot for the money?
Hmm, the Dali Fazon Sats do look very good for their size.
In case others are interested I think I might go for the Qacoustics 7000LRi - they seem reasonably reviewed, the right size and just about in budget with an RPi amp/DAC. If anyone has any experience of them I’d welcome your thoughts.
