The other model is AW871, a 900MHz wireless stereo system with an auto tuning function. Here you can find more information on this second one.
Acoustic Research AW-871 Wireless Stereo Speakers
Most users and reviewers rated this item as a best performer. The audio system respects the traditional layout of two speaker-cabinets, a woofer and a tweeter and includes the transmitter. It develops 10 watts of power per channel.
With the Acoustic Research speakers you don't have the hassle of the RCA speakers, for example, that needed to be tuned separately to the frequency of the transmitter - we know how annoying that can be.
The manufacturer says the speakers work well within a range of 300 feet from the transmitter, through walls and furniture. Usually our advice is to go easy on these figures, but with AR speakers, there's no need to. At wish, you can use them for outside parties, but only in nice weather.
