AN OUTSTANDING WIRELESS SPEAKER SYSTEM
This system is absolutely amazing. It is especially convenient if you live in a condo or apartment and do not want drill into walls. I moved from a 10 room colonial to a 2 bedroom coop. I have a high end 15 year old Harmon Kardon AVR210 Power Amplifier I could not take my two base reflex Altec Lansing speaker systems, so I sold them and purchased a pair of Klipsch R15 speakers. The Amphony receivers are so small and light that they fit on the back of each speaker with no problem. The same holds true for the transmitter that is so small and light I stuck it on the inside wall of my instrument cabinet above my power amplifier. The start up was a no brainer. What is so amazing there is no hum, his or pop. Frequency response is outstanding, of course the speakers are excellent but without good drivers you can loose a lot of bass and upper brilliance. The individual volume controls on the receivers allow for very easy balancing (which is a great feature). Once you set a volume level on your transmitter and receivers that is comfortable for you and your neighbors you are done. If I want to control volume depending on music type I use my Harmon Kardon power amplifier volume control. The only thing I wish the system had was self stick Velcro strips to stick the receivers on the back of thespeakers as well as mounting the transmitter. I had to buy them, which meant a trip to Home Depot. This is important as you do not want to drill holes in the rear of your speaker cabinets. That would void their warranty or may cause internal damage. Other than the Velcro mounting strips,, the system is incredible and I recommend it without reservation. Here is to good listening from an old barbershop quartet & chorus singer.Regards, Herb

UPDATED: Support is non-existent. A unique, though flawed, solution to an old problem.
Update 12/02/2022. Having contacted support on my static issues on one channel only, I was asked to ensure no other wireless devices are in between the transmitter and receiver (which there are not) and to make sure the volume was at about 1/2 way (which it was). All of this was covered in the instructions that came with the unit. The right channel works fine, but the left has static and distortion, which I mentioned to support, that seems like a solder joint may be bad on the speaker inputs for this receiver. After my reply back on October 14th, I've heard nothing more. I can manipulate the speaker wire and make the static and distortion happen much worse, even after swapping speaker wire from the known good receiver. I've tried replying again in the hopes of getting some sort of help, but I may just have to open the receiver up to see what's going on. I shouldn't have to do this in this day and age, but unless Amphony can offer a fix or replacement, it's better to have no sound at all than staticky, distorted sound. Changed my review from 3 to 1 stars, which is a shame because they pretty much have the market for this solution.We have an older Yamaha home theater receiver, which produces excellent sound for its age, and are happy with our current setup. Unfortunately, our rear speaker wires are obtrusive and unsightly, and we didn’t want to drill holes or use clumsy conduit to conceal the wires. Finding this kit, we were hopeful that this would be the solution to our problem.Setup was straight forward. The kits are made OK, but do feel rather cheap once unboxed. The supplied speaker wire, though long enough, is a rather thin gauge for an amp with this wattage. There was heavy arcing upon plugging in power, which is an alarming concern. The receivers were already paired, which was odd since the instructions stated that pairing was a part of setup. Initially, sound quality was pretty good, but eventually the left channel succumbed to persistent static, so I had to reduce the volume so low to make that channel near useless. I’ve contacted the manufacturer for guidance or hopefully a warranty replacement. Perhaps I received a returned product.I’m hopeful to find a solution or replacement for this static issue, as there are few options for making existing wired speakers wireless.

Pricey, but Works (so far)
It's hard to complain about these, since they are literally unicorns. I found these years ago and bookmarked them in hopes of finding something better and more up to date. But, there is nothing else like them on the market, period. There are plenty of two channel wireless devices out there, but all are single sender, single receiver designs, which means that both speakers must home run to the same receiver unit. This simply would not work in my situation, where that would require me to run wires across a hard-surface floor or run up and across my ceiling. I needed something with 2 independent receivers and this puppy is it.I considered a bunch of different options before finally pulling the trigger on these. I've previously used the AudioEngine W1 (now W3) in a house where I could wire the rears to a common point with minimal visual pollution, but they require an amplifier on the remote end or powered speakers. Two W3s can be used to achieve the objective in this house, but aside from another $150 for the second unit, I'd need small amps for my satellite speakers- or buy amplified speakers. Also, I looked at Sonos and other contemporary soundbar+wireless speaker systems, but then I'm essentially scraping my current investment in speakers and AV receiver.This thing gets great reviews, which is comforting and factored into my decision. I figured if I kept stalling trying to find a better solution, these might disappear from the market and I'd be stuck. Ordered on December 3, arrived 10 days later. I can't blame the vendor for the slow shipping, since the tracking shows it left their location in Missouri on December 5 via USPS 2 day service and somehow languished in the postal system for days before finally getting delivered here in Florida.Impressions:While the kit is brand new, the design is old- I mean, it has a 30-pin Apple dock on the sender unit. The last iPhone to use the 30-pin connector was the iPhone 4- remember those? Not that I intend to use it as a iDevice dock, but it provides a reference point for era this was manufactured. Now, good audio gear can be timeless, so who cares. On the other hand, this uses 2.4 GHz radios (or is it 5.8 GHz?), which is very busy with wifi, bluetooth, and other things competing for channels. Being an older radio, I was concerned it might not cooperate well with other stuff I have going on in the house. I am confused about the operating frequency, since on the back of the box it says 5.8 GHz in large typeface. But everywhere else, including on the box, manual, and Amphony's website it says 2.4 GHz. Googlng the FCC ID on the bottom of the sender unit shows that it is 2.4 GHz (registered in 2011). Regardless, I'm happy to report that so far, everything is getting along.Build quality is on the cheap side. Like cheap Chinese toy cheap. But, it's what's inside that counts. However, I can't help to think that this is way overpriced. A benefit of the cheap construction is that the receivers are very lightweight (80 watts? riiiight!) and I used some Command strips to stick them to the back of my satellite speakers.My A/V receiver has pre-outs for the rear channel, so I used the line-level input on the transmitter. Heeding warnings from other reviewers, I set the receivers' gain to a little less than the midway point and used my AV receiver's Audessey to set up the environment. Audessey detected the rear speakers and everything is working! One observation: Audessey calculated the distance to the rear speakers at 30'. They are about 8' away from the where I set the Audessey microphone and Audessey generally reports reasonable distance estimates for wired speakers. So my assumption is that there is a small delay in this wireless setup, however that should not be a problem since Audessey compensates.I have the transmitter unit connected to the switched outlet on my AV receiver, so it goes off with the rest of the components. However, the receivers don't have power switches and don't appear to auto-power off when the transmitter is off or disappears. Maybe they do, but they revert to endlessly blinking their red light indicting no radio connection. I have no idea if these can stand up to being powered 24/7, but the alternative- plugging and unplugging the wall warts everyday is a non-starter. The manual does say in the 'Important Safety Information' section to unplug if not being used for 'long-periods of time'. So there's that. I've experienced no random pops or noise from the system, whether the transmitter is on or off- good news.In all, pleased that these do what they promise- hopefully, they will last.
