I would like to add another speaker in my home, but now find the WX-010 has been discontinued. What would Yamaha recommend as a replacement? Also: was able to (mostly) correct the sound dropping out by installing a wifi repeater to boost the signal.

Tried many times to get it to connect to MusicCast on my phone to no success. So used my wife phone with the same failures. App has to what to do if. I was able to easily get my wireless to connect to the unsecured MusicCast being broadcast. When going back to the app... nothing and finally unit times out. To help, no FAQ, no click here when you are connected. Just nothing.

Just set up the speaker. Excellent sound for it's price point. Very quick setup & easy operation. I'm wondering why I cannot link it to my RX-V683 receiver? When I attempt to do this, it tells me my WX-010 needs a firmware upgrade for this functionality, but when I go to firmware upgrade, it says I'm running the latest. Would appreciate help from Yamaha. This was a big reason why I decided to buy these expansion speakers.

I am building my home entertainment center around the Yamaha RX-V681 AVR in a 1500 sq ft home and thought I'd give MusicCast a shot. I have two zones off the 681 which provides great sounds to my two main rooms, but I had a hunch taking advantage of MusicCast might add more depth to the sound experience. I picked up the wx-010 and it really delivers. I put it in my kitchen, off the TV room and pool table area. It's a very open floor plan so I wasn't sure I actually needed the extra speaker, but I couldn't be happier with the flow of the sound through my house with the new addition. Only complaints are with the software: The Yamaha MusicCast and AV Controller Android apps sometimes don't play all that well together. For instance, on the MusicCast app, there is a very nifty volume toggle that controls the AVR and the wx-010 independently, plus a "master volume" that is great to have as well. But unfortunately, the "master volume" doesn't include Zone 2 of the 681 AVR, so I have to open the AV Controller app, find Zone 2 and toggle it to match the volume of the MusicCast app, which is cumbersome and sometime glitches the system for a bit. Would be nice to see either a merging or better integration from the two apps that control the AVR and wx-101, with Zone 2 added to the "master volume" toggle. Also, I really love the 681 AVR web app to control everything from. Windows 10 app would be even better :)

I absolutely love, love, LOVE these little speakers. I have 4 spread throughout the house, and the sound is absolutely seamless! The small size allows me to place them anywhere and frankly they are quite invisible. My only "con" with them is the MusicCast App itself. Once you learn HOW to set them up, it works beautifully, but getting them set up is a REAL challenge!

Bought this unit as temporary "network" speaker to be used in rental house until our new home is built. We plan to purchase home-wide MusicCast speakers, including Sound Bar and other wax products and use this as a satellite on home Network. Not expecting much due to size, we were very surprised at the depth of audio, as well as, the detail and distribution of audio reproduction throughout several rooms. Volume exceeds what was expected, and there is no distortion at highest volume levels. I have come to appreciate Yahama's knack for true high fidelity in its audio products, and the wx-010 does not disappoint. It's a pretty amazing little box! Do not overlook MusicCast when you're evaluating whole-home wireless sound systems. The App is fairly easy to use, but cannot fairly evaluate since this is only speaker currently on the home's network.
