B&W Wedge - used one

Can you connect it to your TV? Cheers

This speaker is incredible the sound it makes is awesome! It’s way better than the Kef LS50 Wireless speakers. Better than Sonos Soundbar too by some way.

Bowers & Wilkins Formation Wedge review

This wireless speaker beats the competition by some distance

It smashes the competition by some way - it sure does I bought a used one today out of John Lewis.

Thought you wanted to try their Formation Duo speakers?

I wouldn’t mind them but the Wedge has an inbuilt sub and it sounds awesome. I might save up for the Duo too, I will see. 👍 I am thinking I don’t need it.

Don't need to think. None of what you're purchasing recently are really needed.

I am thinking if this Audio device works like I think it will with the TV I won’t need my home cinema system anymore! On Spotify it sounds just as good as my home cinema system through the Arcam r-Blink, will have to see how it sounds through the Audio device but based on my experience with the KEF LS50 Wireless I think I am onto a winner here.

So no more wired speakers or amps! 🙂

Have you tried the Kef LS50 Wireless II’s?

Not likely. 🙂

Doesn't really replace a dedicated 5.1 system which does HD audio.

I have been comparing and it’s very close! I listened to my Slash Made in Stoke live on Spotify and been comparing to my Blu-ray of it in Master Audio. I will know more when I play it from the B&W Formation Audio through my Blu-ray player. The Kef LS50 weren’t too far off these are much better.

Not sure what you mean by close, you don't get surround sound with it.

It has 5 drivers and the sound is separated wonderfully. The leading voice is awesome working with all the other instruments. It’s a bit like a sound bar creating that illusion of surround sound. Not that you get surround sound just that you don’t really need it or miss it.

I have manage to connect the Wedge to my TV via Bluetooth so I do not need to Audio device anymore. It sounds brilliant too - jackpot! I think it sounds just as my system on DTS Master Audio. In fact at the moment I prefer it. 🙂

And which Bluetooth protocol would that be using …… ?
Cannot really believe it will sound as good as DTS HD Master Audio…. 🤔
