Superior Sound Quality
Wireless speakers are good if all you want to do is have some sort of background noise going on throughout your day. If, however, you want to truly appreciate a particular piece of music, you will need a far superior sound producer than a wireless speaker. With a hifi system, you can enhance the bass, mix the treble, accentuate the vocal quality or whatever else you’d like to change, none of which is possible with a wireless speaker.
To be fair, wireless speakers can be used to adjust bass and treble levels to a point. But it’s after that point that makes the difference. We have not yet found a wireless speaker that can produce a quality of sound anywhere comparable to a hifi system.
Always Available
Relying on online providers can cause problems, there was that fiasco when itunes merged with apple music. And often spotify breaks down for no apparent reason. Then there are unfortunate incidents like your internet provider having a meltdown with the whole of the country affected.
Not so with a hifi system, yes you can use bluetooth and online streaming through hifi systems but you also have vinyl, CD etc…So you will never be without decent music unless there’s a power outage and you lose all electricity.
Convenience
Due to its wireless compatibility, a hifi system gives you the best of both worlds, brilliant sound quality and access to all the online music channels like spotify etc.
Ability To Improve Individual Parts
With a hifi system, you have the ability to upgrade one part at a time. For instance, you want to upgrade your speakers just unplug the old set and plug in the new. You want to add a turntable, just plug it in and away you go. None of which is possible with a wireless speaker.
Adds Character To The Room
A hifi system looks great as a stand alone piece of kit, unlike a wireless speaker which is just that, a speaker, often positioned in the corner of the room in some unobtrusive spot. A hifi system is like a piece of furniture.
Supporting Musicians
When you Buy CDs or vinyl albums, you are actually supporting the artist that made that album. Who are you supporting when you use spotify or youtube?
Hand Chosen By You
When you create your hifi system, it’s something that’s been put together by you, for you. Every functioning element is working the way you want it too. There hasn’t been any compromise, the sound you are listening to is the sound you created. None of which is possible on a wireless speaker.
