The Only Airplay Speaker That Has Impressed Me
Most airplay speakers elicit a "meh" from me. I've tested the Zeppelin, the Beolit, the Libratone Lounge, and the iHome. They're f ine. This unit has impressed me. It's compact, attractive, powerful, and sounds better than its rivals. Sometimes significantly. Klipsch clearly put a lot of thought into it and then priced it to undercut some of their immediate competition. Good. It officially goes on my list of things that aren't terrible.
Two Notes:
1. Apple should have this in all caps, but this speaker (like all the others) does not currently work correctly with the iPhone 4S. There is a software glitch that has been addressed in the iOS 5.1 beta, but has not yet been pushed to normal phones.
2. Be sure to download the Klipsch App. It makes setup very easy, and shames the convoluted process employed by alternatives like the Beolit. …- Written by Travis T

An Excellent System!
I'm an old audiophile who has been dying to get something I could place on the deck for entertainment for the warm months. A frien d bought one of these and loves it so thought I would give it a try. Not being a computer "geek" I was a bit hesitant on hooking this to my wireless network but it only took about ten minutes and it was up and running! I've had a chance now to do some serious listening with lots of different music on the G-17 and it sounds fantastic (soft or loud)...very accurate sound with unbelievable bass for its size. It's very solid built and my wife seems enamored with the looks too. One reviewer here seems to be having trouble unless its close to his router, but not the case with me...it streams flawlessly. I have heard you need to have a good wireless signal to make these new Airplay speakers shine and my older, basic router seems to be doing the trick. Congratulations Klipsch on a quality product! …

Amazing!
I've been an airplay (formerly AirTunes) fan for a long time via AirportExpress. Spending the cheese on this unit has taken my lo ve for wireless home audio to a different level. The amount of rich distortionless sound at any volume that this small sound bar creates is amazing! We installed it in our kitchen and absolutely love it. It's expensive, but totally worth it if you consider yourself an audiophile. I just ordered my second unit to install in my sunroom. …

Major connectivity problems
Based on sound, IF the G-17 could maintain a wifi connection, I would give it 5 stars. Sound is superb for an Airplay speaker. U nfortunately, the unit cannot maintain a wifi connection for even the duration of a single song. I have the unit in a room where every other device has no problem maintaining a connection strong enough for 1080p a/v signals; all of these devices have no connectivity problems in the room: smart TV, bluray with build in wifi, directv wifi connectivity kit, ipad (x4), iphone (x2), ipod (x2), xbox 360 .... you get the idea - every other device we have maintains a strong connection and never drops. G-17 drops during every song, and rarely comes back without rebooting. The blue connectivity light always shows a good connection, but the unit drops constantly. It's not the control/source device, which we have tested by leaving sitting in the same room as the router - it's the G-17. As someone else said, just not yet ready for prime time - very frustrated after spending hundreds of dollars on the unit that is, essentially, useless. …

Great sound - bad connectivity
The Klipsch G-17 really has a great sound for a speaker this size, unfortunately, it has WiFi connectivity limitations! Seating ne xt to a WiFi router it works wonder, a few feet away the signal will keep on droping, making the G-17 unusable with AirPlay.
Really disapointing. …- Written by Philippe G from New York

All you need is to "assign" it to your local wifi network. The Klipsch app makes it quite easy.
