I just ordered 2 refurbished Festivals for $150 each. I cannot wait to get them. Couldn't really find any reviews on a pair of them, but I think I'm going to enjoy them a lot! They're going to be used as a pair on my patio when grilling, but also a single one while I work from home. Or even 1 or 2 when we go to the parents or friends home that don't have any indoor or outdoor speakers. I think this is going to be a very versatile solution for me. I cannot wait. Plus, I can't wait to hear my Tidal Hi-Fi subscription on it!
Riva just reopened and I had the festival. I threw it away because it stopped working and was cycling through the inputs. I now have a concert (the smaller speaker) it's good for office listening but I miss the fullness and bass of the festival when working out. I want the Stadium (Festival).
@@hawaiian-cerveza I'm currently using a Libratone Zipp speaker as my main in my kitchen while I'm doing the cooking and cleaning. Sound is pretty good and it's wireless so can play from a phone directly.
Nice review man, spot on! I really like what you have done. I totally didn't expect you to do something but you made my day with this pleasant surprise. Riva will be happy, people who see this will be happy and now you can be too;-). Keep up the good work! Greetz
Thanks man. Your last comment played on my mind and you were totally right. Second time round (and actually taking the time to dive into it), the Riva speaker impressed me so much. Thanks for checking out the video again, and we will definitely be taking your feedback on board for products going forward!
Spotify casting in UK is only available to a TV for a free account. For an audio device like a speaker you need a premium account. So its not Riva's fault. Either way you should be able to connect Spotify via Bluetooth on a Riva.

Let me know once you've gotten them to work in stereo. I'm close to purchasing two refurbished units as well.

The Festival was a decent speaker for sure. I liked it when I was testing.
@@TechNuovo whats a speaker you like?

You can stream from many sources apart from Spotify. Get the Audials app and start streaming radio channels @192kbps.
Since it goes through Google home app you should be able to stream from Google Play Music.
