Initially I went for the sonos Play 5. But given that it has been around for years, the citation 500 is really much further with the times than Sonos. Sound is better from the Citation than the Sonos in my opinion after testing them both. It doesn't hurt the world, though. Google assistant has just taken baby steps in the Netherlands and you will notice that. The system matures over time but is a lot of fun to use!

A lot of effort to connect the Citation 500 to WiFi. After a lot of patience and art and flying work, contact was made. Then the connection was broken again. After hard reset, by disconnecting power, the reset button was not enough, the Citation 500 found the wifi again. This is a recurring problem that is being solved by HK, or at least it has been promised.

Tried several WiFi speakers from leading brands, but this one stood head and shoulders above the rest. Very mature hi-fi sound, sounds transparent, nice tight bass (definitely no boom bass) as a good hi-fi speaker should sound. Close your eyes and enjoy pure hi-fi.
