It's understandable that a forum dedicated to vintage boomboxes wouldn't take too kindly to a music machine that isn't, well, a vintage boombox.

But as far as I'm concerned, any 'box' that produces the boom is a boombox, just not necessarily a 'vintage' boombox.

I think for outdoor heavy sessions, the DiamondBoxx XL would be a fantastic choice - just not worth $1700 to a domestic user though IMHO.
I love how they do their own thing though, much like the folks over at BumpBoxx.

. These guys don't give a shiat what the non enthusiasts think, they make gear for the crazy people who like it LOUD!!!!
I think the guys at DJTech pretty much got it right combining good performance with old school looks and styling. It's pity they don't seem to be producing any new products of this type.
