I was getting tired of the uncomfortable playing radio and Spotify through the overbassed JBL Xtreme Bluetooth speaker in the kitchen. Starting Radio or Spotify has always required launching the app, then playing it. Then I found out that the sound was coming into my headphones or directly from my mobile phone. So then still connect the Bluetooth speaker. When someone called into it, my handsfree switched to speakerphone instead of music. The app then had to keep running on the mobile, and when I took the mobile out of the kitchen, the speaker disconnected and the music played from the mobile again. I just found after a few years that I only use it occasionally because it's cumbersome.
The Denon 150 with Airplay, Spotify Connnect and radio start buttons solved everything elegantly.
I don't need a mobile phone to start the radio, I just press one of the three touch buttons where I have radio presets.
I do need my phone to play Spotify, but only to start it, then it plays itself. It could probably be set to a button, but I haven't tried that yet.
Stop, skip or rewind and volume can also be controlled directly on the speaker. And even if someone calls me on my mobile phone, it has no effect on the music playing from the speaker. Plus, anyone who wants to can still connect it via Bluetooth.
I've searched hard enough, but I haven't found another smaller, lightweight (under 2kg) bookshelf speaker with direct radio selection and Apple Airplay, so Denonbyl is the only choice and it's great.
sound is echo-free (closed design)
3 quick options e.g. to start a saved internet radio station
Spotify Connect - plays on its own without a mobile phone
play/stop/skip/back button and volume control
control touch buttons are backlit
Easy initial setup via the Heos mobile app
Airplay - no need to connect, just select as playback source
Bluetooth connection for devices without Airplay
simple 230V cable directly to the speaker
More bass for its size (but not nearly as much as the JBL speakers). They can be overridden in the Heos app
Very fast automatic wake-up by starting Airplay or touching the station button.
The control panel is at the top. When placed on the shelf, the buttons, which are touch-sensitive, cannot be felt. Fortunately, it's square and can be laid on its side with the touchpad facing you
The speaker is directional in the midrange, the sound comes from the side with the logo.
Non-standard network protocol for setup via Heos application. Starting playback and control is not a problem over the network, but initial setup or reconfiguration is only possible on some 'WiFins' On the wifi in the kitchen (wifi from TP link powerline/homeplug) I just can't set it up, but on the Asus wifi router no problem.
It has a non-expressive speech band (TV has better speech sound). It's fine for music or radio, but not suitable for TV. (I didn't notice any lag with either airplay or Bluetooth, but I only have one speaker).
