Needing some help. Been jonesing for airplay speakers for my bedroom for sometime now. And finally made the leap on Black Friday and have been frustrated ever since.
B&W Zeppelin Air - This was $100 off on Apple's online store on Black Friday and with a little nudge from my audiophile friend, I placed the order. The Zeppelin has serious network issues with setup and general usage. Like the iHome iW1, the Zeppelin freaks out with the iPhone 4S. After discovering that and only streaming music from my iPad and Mac, the Zeppelin would still need to be power cycled almost every other day otherwise the Airplay stream would be choppy if it connected at all. So returned the Zeppelin.
Airport Express & Audyssey's LES Media Speakers - Less than the Zeppelin $$ wise, but not without it's issues. Streaming from the iPhone 4S works perfect. Speakers on the other hand. The power brick is almost as big as one of the speakers alone. The second speaker doesn't work at all. And the automatic standby mode doesn't come out of standby with an incoming audio signal.
Does anyone know of decent speakers that will go into and out of standby mode by an incoming audio signal or lack there of? They don't need to have Airplay like the Zeppelin or iW1, because I've come to realize that most of the systems out there don't have 802.11n which just seems stupid considering Airplay is reliant on a decent, fast wireless network.
