What image comes to mind when you think of a ‘wireless speaker’? Some squareish, boombox-like unit, or maybe a chic dome or cylinder covered in fabric? Perhaps something small and battery-powered you can chuck in your weekend bag? If you own one yourself, it’s likely the very one sitting in your home.
In any case, chances are you are picturing some kind of single unit – albeit almost certainly not an uber-flashy one that costs the same as a modest second-hand car. They do exist, though: I’ve heard at least a handful of ‘tabletop’ one-box wireless speakers that cost around, or north of, £3000 / $3500 (one was nearly twice that); real statement, centrepiece designs whose sound quality goes beyond what you would expect from a one-box offering, courtesy of their multiple drivers and quality components and engineering.
