- It has Wifi and Google Assistant built-in, so it acts as a smart speaker with *fantastic* audio quality
- The Citation 300 that I have plays more than loud enough for any room in my house and sounds great even at high volume. The Citation 500 here has slightly larger woofers and a bigger amp.
- The Citation 300/500 has dual tweeters and woofers. Stereo separation is a little bit limited because both pairs of drivers are in a single box, but it does do true stereo.
- The Citation 300/500 *only* supports wireless connectivity. You can stream via Wifi with Google Assistant and Chomecast built-in, or you can stream via bluetooth; there is no wired connectivity (No RCA, optical, 3.5mm aux, etc).
- When I bought my Citation 300 for $150, the Citation 500 was $230. That was 3 years ago, though, and I haven't seen either available for any sort of reasonable discount since then.
I do kinda wish the Citation 300 (and 500) had some sort of physical audio input, but more in a "just in case" sort of way, or just because I like the flexibility. At the same time, the lack of physical audio input has never been a big issue for me with my Citation 300 and I've never regretted buying it.
For reference, my Citation 300 spent a couple of years in my work-at-home office where it got at least a few hours of use daily before moving to my bedroom when I upgraded my office setup to a pair of bookshelf speakers. The Citation 300 still gets used in my bedroom just about every morning (while getting ready for work) and every night while getting ready for bed. I also use it regularly when I'm reading in the bedroom, too.
I can't speak to the Citation 700 Soundbar, never used that one.
