Has anyone listened to the Philips Fidelio SoundSphere AirPlay system? It looks like it has good drivers and has separate speakers, so the potential is there for great sound WITH stereo separation....

I can't speak directly to the performance of this AirPlay speaker, but I do own a Klipsch Room Groove iPod docking speaker that is connected to an Airport Express for AirPlay control. The Room Groove sounds excellent as it is, and this speaker is even better.

I do think the unit is a little expensive, but I do like the smaller profile of than the B&W Zeppelin, even though I know the Zeppelin sound quality is hard to beat.

If I decide to upgrade, I'll have to give this one some serious consideration.

Thanks Lex for the excellent review.

Does anyone know if it's possible to watch a movie (on iTunes, Quicktime or DVD player) and to get the sound through WiFi to the Klipsch G17? If not, does any other audio system support that feature?
