Re: B speakers arrived finally
Most of my B merchandise has come from my local online Apple Store, my P7 headphones and the A7 speaker system were bought from a specialist Hi-Fi shop up the road. One of our biggest department store chains - Harvey Norman - stocks B though when you contact them to order it their out of stock if that makes any sense so you have to wait, and wait and wait.

Re: B speakers arrived finally
Okay thanks. I've since been talking to a couple of people who inform me that the Best Buys chain have B P7 headphones so I guess it figures that they should have other B products. We don't have a Best Buys in Australia but we do have discount stores such as JB Hi-Fi And Dick Smith which - for the most part - sell the cheaper kind of goods not fund in a specialist Hi-fi shop or store, a specialist place in Australia is where you'd most likely have to go to get such names as B, B, Denon, Keff and so on and these stores unfortunately are becoming near to extinct.

You're not going to find B computer speakers at Best Buys as far as I know, we're talking about "A Cut Above The Average" here .

Re: best air play speaker system/ doc.
I don't own a Zeplin but I have owned an A5 and will have an A7 shortly all of which work in a similar way. I also had the B Z2 which is similar. The tricky part may be in the setup of the unit to connect to your network. There are two ways of doing this, either by using the B IOS/Android App or manually. Using the B App is probably the hardest for a blind person and - accessible as the App is - there's very little that can be done about it as one has to be able to see the lights on the front of the unit to determine what to tell the App. The manual mode is easy enough, you joing the units own built-in Wi-Fi network, launch your browser and configure from there using the HTML interface or you can directly connect the Unit via a LAN cable and configure that way.
