Advent AW820 Wireless Speakers.......2007-02-16

These speakers have good sound quality, excellent battery life and are easy to install.

My experience has been good.......2006-12-25

I know that there are very mixed reviews for this product. A couple of points -- I've generally found that when the speakers are having a problem, it's something that I hadn't considered -- like something lying on the speakers' power cords, etc. Most important -- keep in mind that the transmiter has it's own frequency adjustment, so if you're adjusting the speakers and can't get them to sound right, try adjusting the frequency on the transmitter, and then readjusting the speakers. Yes, the power supplies on the speakers are huge. And I've only tried them to a distance of about 75 feet, all on the same floor. But overall, I like the sound, and it beats stringing cable. Note: Mine have never broken, but it sounds like others have had problems with service. I've had mine for several years, and so far, so good.

A Fair Shake.......2006-11-22

I've owned two pairs of these for over 4 years and used them in different environments (multi-floor house, single-floor apartment) and have to concur with others that it is nearly impossible to get a clean signal. Static, popping, cordless phone conversations from other houses / apartments, etc. is the norm. I've also tried tuning across the variable spectrum with the same failed results. They work, for my purposes, but I can't honestly recommend these to anyone.

Annoying popping noises........2005-05-29

I've had these speakers for about 3 years now and I'm really not happy them. There is some hissing but that is to be expected with wireless speakers. The most annoying thing is the popping noises. I have tried moving the speakers closer to the transmitter only to find that the distance makes no difference. I thought the popping noise was some kind of local interference so I actually walked all around the yard but the noise stayed the same. I got a warranty replacement of the transmitter because when I moved the attached antenna it caused static in the speakers and I thought perhaps the antenna was somehow not properly connected inside the housing but the popping noise persisted.

I can't recommend these speakers. Best to consider others.

Not great - loads of static.......2005-05-02

I agree with the previous reviewer - there is a lot of static and interference with these things. We actually hardly ever use them for that reason - our house is small enough that we can hear the music from the other room through walls and doorways, and at least it doesn't sound like an AM radio on a stormy day. Also, they do have huge "wall warts" - the big converters (?) on the cords. Finding an inconspicuous place to plug them in is impossible, since all the inconspicuous places are behind furniture, which can't be put close to the wall anymore for the size of the things on the plugs. I guess you get what you pay for - I would have paid more if I had known how bad these would be.
