Re: Polk Audio Woodbourne bluetooth speaker.
Dane, I'm curious as to your opinion comparing the Bose soundlink that sells for 300 bucks in the States and the t7. Of course, the t7 should sound better, given price difference. But knowing you were pretty high on the SL, I'd be curious. I haven't heard the t7, and with the expenses we've incurred this spring, one is not in my near future, for sure! Mary
Re: Polk Audio Woodbourne bluetooth speaker.
Yeah maybe so. Now the soundlink3 has been brought up, Zilla's roar sounds very good on that speaker too. Not so much on the Mini one though. I have the mini Bose Soundlink and that was one of the first things I tried on it.

Re: Polk Audio Woodbourne bluetooth speaker.
Hi There! The Soundlink III is still a good choice in speaker however - if you're device supports aptX - then the BW T7 is the better way to go, has a better sound, tighter bass etc, sharper highs and a more emphasised mid range. Only problem with the T7 is that its a bigger beast than the Soundlink III. I should also point out that - even if your device doesn't support aptX - then the BW T7 will still be worth the investment, won't sound quite as good as it could because of the lack of the aptX support. I don't know what Apple has planned for its iPhone 7, perhaps the Bluetooth aptX support will be amongst the extra features? I sincerley hope so.

Re: Polk Audio Woodbourne bluetooth speaker.
Usually Polk Audio are speakers - one of the few brands - that are speakers to die for but not this Polk Audio powered speaker system. Its not bad but you can do better for the money you spend.
