Review on ๐Ÿ”Š White RIVA FESTIVAL Smart Speaker: Mid-Size Wireless Speaker for Multi-Room Music Streaming and Voice Control with Google Assistant by Harry Love

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Outstanding speakers!

The RIVA Festival Wireless Multi-Room Speaker System has a sleek and understated look, a pleasing weight and smooth lines. The design is pleasing to the eye and the whole unit looks well constructed and elegant. The physical controls on the speaker are very intuitive and easy to use, along with an informative indicator light showing the speaker's status. The size is large enough for powerful sound projection, yet easy to handle and compact, not bulky at all. The whole installation is very quick and easy. It's basically as simple as plug and play. Google Home smoothly guides you through the process of connecting your device to the network. The connection via Bluetooth, USB and AUX also works. RIVA has its own lightweight playback controls app and the app's controls are also very easy to use. I was able to easily play music from various libraries including my local library and Spotify. The sound quality is excellent and it plays well even at full volume. Having tested the speakers outdoors and at various large venues, it's safe to say that the RIVA's sound is excellent in a variety of situations. Both bass and brass sound clear on RIVA, without any distortion. The speaker produced exceptional sound with all the music I tested on it, at a level comparable to other much more expensive high quality speakers (Reference 3A, Made in France) that I own. I am very happy with the RIVA and would highly recommend it to anyone including audiophiles looking for a quality wireless speaker.
