Title: concept is good, execution is poor
Product review: I just purchased a set of the Advent 870's with the hope that this will allow me to have speakers in another room of the house without the hassle of wiring. Well . . . when I tried to place them in another room, the sound quality was terrible. The hiss from the speakers was louder than my old cordless phone and the music signal often broke up. This despite attempts to adjust the frequency and placement. All this occured when they were only 40 feet from the transmitter (albeit through two rooms), they only worked reasonably well within 20 feet of the transmitter. The claim of a 300 foot range is clearly ridiculous in the real world. Less than a day after receiving them my wife and I agreed that they weren't worth it. I would only recommend them to someone who plans to use them in the same room as the transmitter (or really close to it), otherwise the poor sound quality far outweighs the convenience that wireless theroretically offers.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
