Note to self....read the DESCRIPTION!!!!

[Steve H]

Someday I may learn...probably not, To read the description when you buy something! I have a weird hobby of collecting bluetooth speakers. At last count I have 20 or so. So, on to my point. A few days ago I found another one I "had" to have. Had great reviews. And it was on sale at a good price. I really should have looked further into it when people kept saying it was large. Heck, I have a JBL extreme that's on the large side. Well......

This mother is about 25 pounds! Very nice sound too. Lol! This will not fit on my shelf.

Funny story. Interestingly enough I have the same issue. I see the pic, think it's a "must have" and order it only to find that there's a large difference between that I wanted to think it was and what it actually is. Oh well, thankfully I have lots of space to store those things and friends to share them with when they aren't what I expected them to be.

Collecting Bluetooth speakers? Now that's a new one on me, but people collect all sorts of things. Collecting belly button lint is weird . I collect older fishing reels, Ambassadeur 7000's to be exact. At last count, I had 36, but they are an obsession and I'm always on the lookout for the next one.

I seem to have a similar affliction. I am collecting old oscilloscopes to repair and sell.
So far, I haven't tried to sell any. My wife just shaker her head and rolls her eyes when
I get another scope.
On the other hand, when not repairing scopes, I cook with the smokers and sous vide.

Usually the other way for me. Way smaller than it looked. Sure you will find a use for it.

Dial up some War Pigs on that thing and let 'er rip . Maybe some Sweet leaf .
I keep the house pretty cold summer and winter . My kids are all about the blanket . So they ordered a " custom " blanket with a picture of our dog on them .
They showed up ,,, 2' x 3' . LOL .

My thing was Glass Christmas Ornaments, until one year the Cat jumped in the Tree knocking it over and destroying most of them....JJ

Now there's an interesting visual for a Sunday morning: Steve strutting down the street with a refrigerator on his shoulder and the volume blasting away to irritate all the neighbors Hey, it could happen....

Hahaha what do you do with them all

The ultimate surround sound!

 

[Steve H]

I rotate them around from time to time. It is pretty interesting that there are some very decent sounding speakers for little money.

That's true Warren. And this thing does kick out some great tunage.

I have a Bugani, a bit smaller than this. But find the large size is required for outside use. (Perhaps my neighbors don't agree?) I can carry the speaker about anywhere, but keep the tablet with my music collection in the shade, but within BT reach.
And I was unaware of a Sony model in this size. I've usually been impressed with the sound quality from Sony products...something that's hard to compare with the dearth of Brick&Mortar HiFi outlets and the limited selection at the ones that exist. My Bugani had great reviews, but I don't think classical music lovers were among the reviewers.
I'd say you made out well with this. Enjoy it...especially outdoors.

Thanks Bill. I had a Bugani M83. But one of my kids borrowed it. And dropped it off a roof of a house they were working on. It didn't survive the fall. Which one do you have? This is a Sony GTKXB72. Total 470 watts. My favorites brands are Bose, Sony, and JBL. Though I have a few no names that aren't bad.
