Obviously, many of us have found the A1 to be a wonderful portable speaker. Having owned the BL 12, A2 and auditioned the BL15 on more than one occasion, I can say that the A1's combined feature set make it the hands down best choice for me for portable use. Shortly after getting my first, I was curious about how 2 would sound as a stereo pair. In short, I'm absolutely thrilled.
If you keep in mind reasonable limitations about the creation of a soundstage and stereo image from 2 small speakers laying flat, I think most people would be very happy with what they can do in stereo. It's obviously better if you can hang them from a hook, but they do surprisingly well just sitting on a desktop. The bluetooth stereo pairing is a little glitchy at times, but once you figure it out, it works. Dropouts can occur if you move either speaker or the source device (this I have decided is more related to the challenges inherent in doing stereo pairing over BT - I've seen it with BT speakers from other manufacturers that offer stereo pairing with 2 units). In a worst case, you could go wired - 3.5mm stereo to mono breakout splitter with a cable then running to each speaker.
I've already taken these on a trip and have decided that they will be my go to travel speaker solution. Now I just need a good dual unit travel case solution. 😁
