We have these out on the deck for our sonos system, and so far so good. Sound is crisp and clear and there is a good amount of bass. I really dont have anything negative to say about them.
What's great about it: Sound quality.
What's not so great: Nothing
I would recommend this to a friend!

I use it in...:Large home
Love it, easy to set up.
We needed another router to get better whole house coverage. We had originally purchased a Netgear for this. After over an hour of frustration trying to get the Netgeaer onto our existing network, we gave up on it and exchanged for the Airport Express.
Using our mac, we had this up and running in about 5 minutes. Whole house coverage, one subnet, all computers can see each other no matter which router they are on.
Why no 5th star?
The USB supports only printers. You have to upgrade to the Extreme if you want USB storage support. We thought that lessened the overall value not to mention it's a bit cheesy. Our Cisco supports USB storage so we did not upgrade.

What's great about it: Easy Setup

So yes, these are a bit expensive. Once you see how easy the system is to set up, add to, use - you understand why. They just work. You don't have to think about it, troubleshoot it, etc. You just turn it on and enjoy.
Setup of the components is seamless. Getting sonos onto our phones/computers was as easy downloading the app and then pressing a button.
We set up the our system to use Spotify, Rhapsody, SiriusXM, Pandora, and our iTunes collection. Each phone/computer does not have to do this setup. Once it was done from the ipad app, everyone else inherited the settings.
The sonos player can overlap begin/end of songs, shuffle tracks, etc. You can put tracks from Spotify, Rhapsody, and itunes all in one playlist. It's interface just might be one of the easiest most flexible ones you will ever use.
What's great about it: Ease of use, Ability to combine music from multiple sources
What's not so great: Nothing

Funny moments throughout.

Good family movie. Nothing really raunchy in it, and personally I think it has laugh out loud moments scattered througout from beginning to end. The plot is not bad either, but the nice part is that you dont really have to pay close attention to it. Of course, wait until it goes on sale. I would certainly not spend 29.99 on it - then again, I would say that about any movie...
What's great about it: no thought required, family appropriate, plenty of funny moments.

Awesome Keyboard

I have had this keyboard for about a year now and I just absolutely love it! The keys have a great feel to them. The keyboard can lie flat or with the back slightly raised. Since it is not wireless, the keystrokes translate instantly to the screen. The illumination makes it wonderful to use in lower lighting situations. Would buy it again in a heartbeat.
What's great about it: Easy to type, responds well, illumination.
What's not so great: Nothing

We bought this because of our past experiences with Sony. Boy were we mistaken. This unit takes way to long to respond to a button press on the remote. We tried new batteries, standing right next to the unit, etc with zero success.
When watching a blu ray, netflix, or whatever, go ahead and hit pause, fast forward, etc. Then, go grab yourself a snack, go to the bathroom, run and fetch the mail. And maybe, if you are lucky, your blu ray player will finally be responding upon your return. Utterly useless as a smart device, worst blu ray player we have ever owned bar none.

Add better sound to your TV with this Bose® Solo 15 Series II TV sound system, which features a 1-piece speaker with advanced Bose® technologies and fits under most TVs up to 50". Bluetooth connectivity allows wireless pairing.
Does this have surround sound?
It's simulated but decent for single unit. The surround effect is better when not in voice mode, just fyi.

Does Klipsch make an Outdoor Wireless Speaker?
I have these speakers out on our deck for 2 winters and 3 summers now and they sound as great as the day we bought em. These are outdoor.

This is a dumb question. Watching this tv from 6 feet away, is that to close? I think it might be overkill.
It would be perfect for an IMAX like 3D experience! I could do 70 inch just fine. 75 inch would be ify.
I wil tell you I worried about getting a 75" TV because I feared that when we scale down to a smaller house someday that it would just be too big. I was wrong. I throw a pillow on the floor and lay right off of the TV stand all the time to watch baseball, movies, etc and it is fantastic. You will definitely be immersed :-)
