See what Alexa can do
I purchased the Echo Studio to improved the sound quality in our dining room, which it effectively accomplished. First, I tested out some streaming music. Compared to other Alexa devices I've possessed, it has significantly more bass and clarity.
Next, I connected it via Bluetooth to our dining room turntable. In this set up, it felt inferior to having a complete setup, but this may be due to the fact that there is only one speaker, and the high expectations of listening to vinyl. I have not had the chance to listen to it with two Studios as left and right, and Echo subwoofer, though I'm very curious to know what that would sound like.
Nevertheless, this is an excellent speaker for streaming, as it is powerful, bassy, and distortion-free when turned all the way up. It is more than adequate for the room, which is typically used for cooking and cleaning, as well as dinner parties and game nights. With the exception of the hi-fi stereo in the family room, this is the best-sounding speaker in the home.
In addition to connecting a Bluetooth turntable to it, I grouped it with my kitchen Echo Input, which connects to my ceiling speakers. The Echo Studio is a stark reminder of how inadequate and depressing my ceiling speakers are. The Studio is by far superior. However, they work together perfectly, allowing the Amazon music to broadcast seamlessly between the kitchen and dining room. This is really the selling point, isn't it? We have plenty of choices to stream music, but perhaps integration is what makes it different from the others.
Audiophiles will likely continue to prefer a more conventional setup. I did not attempt to connect the turntable directly to the speaker (I believe it has a 1/8 auxiliary input), so audiophiles would already be cringing at the Bluetooth.
I'm pleased with the Studio; its sound is superior to all of the other speakers in the house besides the conventional stereo. And while I may not have been impressed at the quality listening to records (which I had high expecations), I'm usually too lazy to put on a record or CD, so having a great-sounding speaker to stream on is definitely worthwhile. If I want to hear the record in all its glory, I can simply walk into the family room and listen to the other turntable with the hi-fi receiver, amplifier, and speaker pairs. For daily streaming, which is 90% of what we listen to, this is a great purchase and the integration and speaker groups feature that Amazon has makes it worthwhile.

Are the speakers in your TV worthless?

Paired with another Echo Studio it sounds amazing.
I've had my first Echo Studio for several months now and I love it. It's set up in my basement bar. I had it paired with a 5th Generation Echo Dot. The Echo Dot was playing through an older small shelf stereo with a subwoofer that was across the room from the Studio. It sounded ok. The Echo Studio sounds great but the Echo Dot/old stereo was the weak spot in the system. After seeing so many people comment about the amazing sound when pairing two Studios together I decided to try it. I was waiting for them to go on sale again, (I bought the first one on sale) but then a refurbished one became available. I was a little reluctant to try a refurbished product, but by buying a refurbished one and also using my available card points I was able to pick up the speaker for $80. That's a substantial difference from the full $199 price so I ordered it. It arrived promptly and today I finally had some time to set it up. The setup process was frustrating, and basically, the reason that I didn't give it 5 stars. The speaker comes packed just like the new one did and actually looks brand new. I plugged it in and it woke up and did its setup thing. It hooked up to my wifi with no issues and then Alexa proclaimed it to be ready. So, then all I had to do was pair it with the other speaker. That's when the frustration started. It just wouldn't pair. I followed the steps. I made sure I was trying to pair it with the right group. I tried again. And again. The original speaker was playing just fine. The new speaker would talk to me but wouldn't play any music and would not pair up with the original speaker. I tried different steps. I paced. I called Alexa nasty names. After about a half-hour of this, without really knowing what I did differently (nothing) and almost at the point of packing it up and sending it back, by some miracle it started working. Suddenly my humble little bar was filled with jaw-dropping music. And at that point, all of my frustration with the setup was forgotten. The two Echo Studios paired together produce some impressive sound. The two speakers are mounted across the room from each other, one on a plant stand and one on a shelf, about 30 feet apart, and the sound that they create is immersive. Turned up a bit the base rattles the knickknacks on the walls. The highs are crisp and the midrange crystal clear. I was considering adding an Echo Sub to the system but the way these speakers sound now I'm not sure it's necessary. If you have any doubts, give it a try. The frustration of the pairing process was a small price to pay for the end result. I love these speakers.
