Diff between 890 and Harmony One Other than the RF/IR differences, are there any other pro/con comparisons?

The One is a newer better design in my opinion, but other than design differences the only true functional difference is that the 890 has RF.

Harmony 1 has touch screen, unlike the 890. I also prefer the design of the 1 better, but the RF functionality for similar price has me leaning towards the 890

I know that you need the Harmony One, if your pc is a VISTA. I just bought the harmony One for that reason.

There's a great device that will add RF capability to any remote that uses AA or AAA batteries. I've been using it for years and it works like a charm. Next Generation Remote Control Extender

I am in investigate mode (don't own one yet) but it seems that the 860 is thinner (1.9" compared to 4.2 on the series 7 and less) is lighter (I read 46#), has QAM which might eliminate the next for a cable box, has ATSC and NTSC which are digital tuners for over air broadcasts, and 2 USB inputs, and the 18 month warranty! Today it is 2526 including $150 shipping (Amazon).

My original was 8300, i replaced it with 8800 and it works fine. Not sure if there is much difference, or how much that matters.

no IR here. just be smart with the Dynamic and contrast settings. Most IR issues are from those not familiar enough with the technology to use common sense; electronically speaking

I works great in the Harmony 890. Call Logitech and see if the 670 uses the same battery.Allen in Sonoma 2/24/15

Even though I haven't listened to both, I thought I'd reply anyway. I combed thru the net for reviews on both. There are many for the 10.1 and only a couple for the 10.2. None compared the two. Obviously, 10.2 will produce more bass, but I was afraid that larger woofer wouldn't handle the upper midrange as well. No review discussed that, so it's my own supposition. I bought the 10.1, and the bass is very solid and goes lower than I anticipated. Very happy with it. Hope this helps at least a little bit.

Best to go to a Bose store and test both units side-by-side. Bring a CD or DVD that offers excellent sound to compare. On the CD side I usually play a smooth jazz disc which really highlights the mids and highs and play at low volume which really tells the story. On the DVD I play an action flick with considerable surround sound audio so you can see how they compare to a 5.1 system. I think you will find the GS system is worth the extra coin as the mids and highs are very clear while they seem muffled on the regular series II system. Yes both systems seem a bit pricey but unless you really want an exceptional 5.1 or 7.1 audio experience the Bose will provide excellent sound.

I do not know if there is a significant distinction. However, the sound on my R + is outstanding.

I own the 880 and from what I can tell so far, the only difference is the touch screen. However, I am not sold on the touch screen yet. It appears that the LCD display on the 880 is just as big, but it has buttons along the side of the screen that allows you to select the option on the screen instead of actually pressing the screen. The advantage to that is that you can have more options on one screen. There are 8 buttons (4 on each side) for the 880. When I look at pictures of the Advance One, it looks like you are limited to 4 options on a single screen due to the fact that you need room to actually press the option on the screen with your finger. Some may like that, but it could be a slight disadvantage. The 880 does not have RF capability, but the 890 does. In case you don't know, the 890 is the same as the 880 except for the added RF capability to communicate with devices that are not in your line of sight. I would be interested to know if the Advance Once does have RF. If it does, then that is also an advantage over the 880. Other than that, the 880 is very easy to use and comes with the same software. It is also very ergonomic and easy to hold.

I believe the Logitech 890 is the most popular one that will do what you want. I have the Logitech 880 model, which does not transmit RF signals that are required to do the lighting, etc you mentioned. here is a quote from the 890's Amazon page and a link to it. You can also check the Logitech 1000, the latest and greatest Logitech remote. Link to Logitech 890 Universal Remote: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Harmony-Advanced-Universal-Control/dp/B000CS1TLE/ref=sr_1_21?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1200787712&sr=1-21 "Logitech's Harmony 890, an upgrade to the Harmony 880 remote control, uses both radio frequency (RF) and infrared (IR) wireless signals to deliver powerful complete control of your home-entertainment system that may be hidden behind cabinets. With a wireless range of up to 100 feet, the Harmony 890 remote sends RF commands to a wireless receiver, which then blasts infrared signals to the components. The Harmony 890 remote makes universal control for home entertainment and advanced lighting systems simple. "

I actually had both sets. First the 900mhz, then upgraded to the 2.4GHz. THe 900 is ok for indoor use with a couple speakers in one room. Note that with two speakers you will not have stereo sound, just two speakers playing mono. The 2.4 ones are really much better. The sound quality is way better, especially if you like to crank them up at all. Two will fill a normal back yard well and are more than you will need inside. They can operate independently as mono speakers (we sometimes have one inside and one on the patio) or as a stereo set for when you have them both together. Unless you actually cannot afford the price difference, go with the 2.4s.. Just know that the effective range seems to be more like 80-90 feet, at least with the transmitter inside and the speakers out, not 150.

I recall when I bought my 9001 a newer version was also available. The newer one didn't seem to be any better than mine other than it was a slightly better looking unit. I don't remember other details other than aesthetics. I love my 9001.

I've gone through two 676's now. Heavily used buttons wear out after about 1.5-2 years. I'm researching but will probably buy a third 676 now. Doesn't seem to be anything better for the price. And I've had this problem with lots of remotes, not just Harmony.

From a connectivity stand point, there are no differences between the units. I have found the descriptions posted by Amazon can be very vague. I find myself needing to do more research before buying and usually on the mfg. website.

My understanding of the differences is the 880 is suppose to be a little more powerful than the 790. It may be but I'm very satisfied with the 700 series. The remote is convenient but not necessarily needed. I do know this product does what it advertises it will do, so you should be happy with either one.

I cannot say with regards to side by side, but simply put the 820 is really a 3 way with true sounding base (you have a high section a mid and a low) and the 830 just does not sound as good in terms of full spectrum due to the smaller woofer and less crossover frequencies from mid to low. Take the lower price you cannot go wrong. I hope this helps some in the decision.
