Like a lot of people, you probably have music files spread among your PC, notebook,
tablet, and smartphone. As long as that hardware is connected to your network, the Aris Wireless Speaker For Windows ($499; www.aperionaudio.com) makes listening to that music a snap. Taking advantage of the
Play To feature in Windows, the speaker enables you
to choose a song from a device on the network and
play it over the speaker. Further, with a new Aris
mobile app, you can use your smartphone to pick a file from other network-connected devices. The speaker includes six internal drivers and four amplifiers that output 100 watts RMS power and that are housed in a brushed-aluminum enclosure that sits on a removable steel base. Elsewhere, the speaker’s use of a Wireless Card enables upgrading the speaker as network technology changes occur.
