I am looking for the day when HEOS will be able to transmit to Rear Speakers. Has anyone heard if Denon may have mentiond this at any trade show or visit from a Representative?
Sometime in the first quarter of 2017, the HEOS speakers (likely Ver 1 as well) will receive a firmware update that will allow Amazon Alexa (ie. Echo/Echo Dot) to control the HEOS speaker via voice command.
I am a real fan of the Heos line. I'm not with the big boys quite yet though. I simply own 3 Heos 1 HS2's. But, man, the whole Heos system has really saved me from the constant purchasing of songs that I was doing before. I subscribe to Pandora, Deezer (the paid subscription), TuneIn, and maybe one or two more services. And now I occasionally make a song purchase to own, but that is really only on a rare occasion. And now that I have the Denon X4300H, which I purchased from the AVS Science Store, I'm really excited to see how the system works from having Heos integrated right into the receiver. I think that that is really going to be nice. Now we're talking Huckleberries!
I set up two Heos 1 HS2 in the living room. I was told that those who spend more time in that room than I do would never use them. Well, the minute they walk out there in the morning, those speakers are cranked up. And They get used on and off every single day. We're all fans of Heos now. Love it
