I hate to admit it but these new power towers are the new “boomboxes” of today. And they sound incredible.

The king of “boomboxes”. 800 watts RMS and battery powered. Plenty of deep powerful bass

I completely feel you. But here’s the good part: NOW, there’s no excuse for companies not to be able to remake 80’s 90’s style boom boxes that also make 800 watts rms. Imagine a new 800 watt JVC kaboom, or Panasonic dt680. It’s a new frontier!!!

But this JBL thing is not a boombox as to how the members of this community generally sees a boombox, it is a bluetooth powered speaker. I wouldn't even say it compares to the Pioneer DiscoRobo, because even that has a cassette deck and radio, and mixing capability. That's not to say it's not useful. When my daughter recently got married, a device like this was convenient in playing back wedding specific tunes from an iphone, so these types of things have it's place.

Hi, I own an integrated amp, a Realistic SA 155, with 1.8 watts per channel @ 8 ohms with 20-20,000 hz frequency response. Not a boombox, but the the volume and full tonal range was literally unbelievable! Modern,800 watt claims, remind me of bargain car audio eq/amp claims of 200+ watts per channel back in the 80s. Look to your output caps . Replaced 470's with 2200's in a Panasonic RX 5100 (5 watts per channel); what a difference! Thanks.
