Bowers & wilkins A7 or bang & oulfsen beoplay a8

Which one is the best? Bowers & wilkins A7 or bang & oulfsen beoplay a8. Im leaning towards the b&o because of the dock and airplay, while the a7 is only airplay. Have heard both but was in a big store so i could not say that one is definitely better than the other.

I've got a B&O Beosound 8 which is the older version of the A8. Mine does not have airplay, the new one does.

Its phenomenal. The rest really are rubbish. Go to your local B&O shop and have a listen, you will be amazed. Bring your own music too.

I didn't like the the A7, I returned mine after 48 hours.

I thought the Beosound 8 sounded OK, but no where near the Meridian M80 I was replacing. I wanted airplay.

In the end though I ended up with Sonos Play 5's.
