Does anyone know how this unit compares with the GOgroove BX speaker? I want to get the Loader one to be played in a greenhouse.

I have both and use the sonaverse when I want to hear music throughout our 30 foot yurt. It is a great little "boombox".

From my understanding, the guts are the same, so it boils down to form factor. This one is directional, so it is better distance wise. Either way, you won't be disappointed.

Can tell you the output will fill room, plenty loud. Depending on where placed sound quality can vary . Some locations sound is amazing. So loud people cannot believe sound quality including myself. Battery will last long, like 6 hours full blast more than 8 hr lowing volume. On stand by it will last days. Awesome product. I now have bought nearly 10, gave them as gifts. The original one I bought is still like new and no sign of slowing down. Construction is sturdy too. Looked for months to find best Bluetooth recharging speaker and found the gear4. Pretty sure you'll be pleased.

Well let me ask you, what are you looking for it to do? It's no Boom Box or Bose. All I can say it sounds great out doors when I work. I am very pleased with The Crasher, for my self....if I want it to sound like an out door theater, I would buy three and put around my property. Everyone hears things differently, you know how many time critics are wrong! Good luck, buy it, you won't be disappointed, especially for the distance you can use it!

I have not tried the other units you listed but I have used this one and it was very good! I used it in a living room though and did not have to turn up the volume very high. The sound quality and construction is top notch though, better than what I have seen with Pyle products. This does not come close to a 900 watt system, but I would venture a guess that the Pyle 900 watt unit you are looking at is not really 900 watts. I have seen a lot of false advertising on these things as no one tries to prove them wrong. If you are looking to use this outdoors, I would suggest getting two of them as they easily hook up tandem.

I am listening to mine right now via BlackBerry tooth. I have had it for well over a year and use it most every day. My son gave me a Jam blue tooth portable speaker for Christmas, and, while nice and a little smaller, has a shorter battery charge and less audio volume and quality. However, I was under the impression that Monster had quit making the Clarity.

Don't know about the other unit, but I really like the VL3G. The sound is clean. I like the M - F setting to alternate the backing vocals between male and female for variations from song to song. Nice to have the on-board tuner. Works really great when my guitar (and vocals) are pitch-correct, so it's a great motivator for playing and singing correctly. When you "get it right" on your end, the sound is awesome!

The speakers are not attached to the stereo component at all, they have 6 ft. of speaker wire and 6ft. of fiber-optic wire. This stereo ROCKS!! I purchased it for my 1200 + sq.ft. garage and it absolutely rocks, the louder you crank it the better it sounds. When you start hitting up passed 22-23 volume it comes alive @ around 30 you are really pissing off the neighbors. Ted Nugent's "Stranglehold live" @ 25 and a couple cold brews...AAHHH life just gets a little better. You must buy this it is worth the $$.

I like my Sharp a lot ! And it is the latest in a long history of boom boxes. It has a great deep bass sound and gets LOUD !However, I am not too happy with the radio reception (NPR). It is very big,for a shelf type unit. I still like my older Sony Z-plod units. So I would consider cost, size, and use. the Sharp would eat a lot of batteries if off grid. But I do like it ! Might take some getting used to.

6 watts of sound. For only 6 watts, it makes the most of them. I've seen this compared to the EcoEXBT. Yes, that speaker's sound is much louder, but I can't pleasurably listen to that speaker's sound for more than one song, the balance is way to high on the mids and highs. This speaker has a nice passive rear speaker that helps round out the sound quite nicely.

I think the speaker was create to play in small enclosure area and sofar it is working for me. It base add a great sound and clarity when playing. In terms of volume it delivery the necessary to play in small areas.

I don't find the EQ to make all that much difference but I never do. The sound quality out of the deck is excellent but I have added aftermarket speakers as well and a subwoofer. I wouldn't expect a miraculous change if you leave in low quality OEM speakers.

I, too, had to choose between the RC Micro and the Classic. I worried the the RC Micro's were too small to provide a full sound. I ended up choosing the RC MIcro's. Here's why: 1. I scoured the different audio forums to get the opinion of people who knew more than me. In the AVS forum (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1153061), I found a posting by a member who posted frequently and who seemed to be highly respected by other forum members. This is what he wrote, "RC-Micro are smaller, with higher build quality and better drivers (than the Classic). They will have a more "refined" sound. The sub is a little better also. Whether it is "worth it" is strictly up to you and how critical you are in your bedroom listening. If you can afford the extra and are seeking the maximum sound quality from the smallest possible package, the RC-Micro will be great. If you aren't super critical and will only be doing casual, moderate volume listening, the Take Classic will probably be fine." 2. I called the tech help at Energy Speakers (they're very helpful, by the way). I told them I could buy the Classic or the RC Micro for the same price. Their tech guy said absolutely take the RC Micro's. 3. They sound better, they look better. I'm really happy with the RC Micro's. Hope that helps!

I personally find the RAT a lot less noisy in my chain and I like the nuances I get from the filter knob and hence the different kinds of distortion I get from it. But then again I guess it's a matter of personal preference and taste. I personally would pick the RAT over the Big Muff anytime but I'm sure there are others out there who think otherwise. Also, if you play on-stage live I really appreciate the clear light on this RAT especially when it's dark on stage. It's a lot easier to change the battery too if you are not connected to a power source. I realise these are not sonic features but as I stated above I am hesitant to say one sounds better than another because it really depends on your taste. I'd recommend you try out a few candidates at the store first to figure out the sound you wanna get and go from there.

I have used both speakers. The X-Pro provides a much better overall sound experience. Bass levels are much richer and the volume level is better than the X2, which has a much thinner overall sound. The X-Pro is physically thicker, so take that into account relative to your helmet. They fit just fine in my AGV Miglia Modular, but not so well in my LS2 Modular. I actually purchased 2 of the Pro's, one for me years ago then and one for my wife. Then I purchased a Honda Goldwing with the Premium Sound System and we no longer need internal speakers, except for use with our Scala Team Set. Now, we just use the small speakers that came with that, which work fine for voice conversations. I have tried several other helmet speakers over the years and I believe that the X-Pro's are the best value out there. As with all of the ones I have used, it is important that your sound source produces enough volume to drive them. For example, my Sansa MP3 and Sony armband radio work great. However, my LG Optimus 9 Android does not produce enough volume with any of them. I tried a couple of different amplifiers, but without much improvement at higher speeds. BTW, I had no quality issues with the X-Pro's in my years of use...thus the purchase of a set for my wife. Then, I traded my VTX 1800F for the Goldwing and now both sets are now stored away!

I have had a set of 3 TIC GS-3 outdoor speakers in my pool area for over 20 years. They sound amazing!! They obviously last a long long time. I bought these TFS5CN Rock speakers to replace two of the three original GS-3's. Those two had been sunken into planters near a deck. After 20 years the planters began falling apart. When I demolished them I noted both speakers had some weather damage, the foam that surrounds the speaker mesh was long gone and the speakers had some rasp from loose stuff getting down in them. I chose the rock speakers because they fit into the new landscaping better and were slightly less expensive. Also I didn't have the room to bury new GS-3's in the new landscaping. As far as how these two different speakers work together I can say they work together superbly. They are both great choices for outdoor sound either separately or together. Nice base, especially from the ground speakers but only when they are buried per unstructions. Good choices, both.

I'm running a Pioneer GM-D 8604 4 channel. These speakers take some time to break in and open up. Probably about 150 hours, then you'll notice the bass, mid, and treble really open up. You don't want to use a bright amp with these, also use a good head unit that allows you to control all the frequencies. I'm using a pioneer head unit. All equipment is pioneer and the wiring is Audio Quest Topaz. The system sounds great, very deep bass and extremely clear and not fatiguing. I have this set up on my Harley Ultra Classic. Fairing is lined with acoustic foam and speakers are surrounded by polyfill fiber. I have the Pioneer TSD170 6.75" coaxil as the rears and ported into the trunk.

Sound will project more with better base. Add an amp and see for yourself. Why els would you buy speakers that your deck unit would underpower...
