Couples fight about a lot of things, but when they’re moving in together, it quickly becomes clear that one partner is going to be more adamant about what goes and what stays, than the other. Ask most audiophiles, and they’ll admit that their partners were so offended by the huge, bulky speakers that they enjoyed when they lived alone but that take up half a room, that the fights begin and often don’t end until the speakers are put on EBAY,
Even if you are single and can make your own decorating choice, choosing a bluetooth speaker can be very confusing. There are a ton of different sizes, styles and price points. Even if they’re not huge speakers from previous decades, most of the new, bluetooth speakers capable of delivering decent sound are big. They take up a lot of room and you have to place them so your partner is going to seethe every time s/he walks by.
Enter the CLIO by ClearViewAudio. The Clio is a peace-maker as well as a home decor item that gives amazing sound that can please everyone and keep the peace!@

Clio by ClearvVew Audio (silver base) in front of a window
Clio by ClearView works with just about every decor. Note you can barely see the speaker, but you can see the flute lamp that is behind it
Situated by a window you can barely make it out. Decorating tip: put the CLIO speaker in front of a favorite photo so you are always reminded of the one you love (even if it’s a shared pet). The footprint is so small you can place it anywhere there is an outlet or extension cord. No one will realize that this is a speaker until you hear great sound coming out of it. A tiny led light on the front in the middle of the bar lets you know the status: Blue (Bluetooth: Solid = Selected | Flashing = Pairing); Red (Solid = 3.5 mm Input Selected); and White (Standby).
The sound: If you want both partners in a relationship to be happy, you need great sound as well as good looks. Clio gives you both. This speaker doesn’t just push sound in one direction (like traditional cone speakers that push sound waves in one direction) . If you want stereo sound that sounds rich and clear, you get just that. the Clio speaker is touted as providing a 360° sound experience — you get a lot of clear, quality sound coming from a bookshelf speaker — one with so many advantages over most other blue tooth speakers. Keep the peace with your speaker-loving partner, and enjoy great sound that compliments the decor of your home. The Clio is sturdy, but it comes with a 60 day money back guarantee and a one year warranty, and there is a fair amount of information and support on the ClearViewAudio.com web site. For the couple whose partner wants bulky speakers that makes the other person hyperventilate, the Clio bluetooth speaker, brings a lot of sound in a form that both partners can love as well as loving each other!
