What is the difference between this speaker and this one http://www.amazon.com/Compact-Perform...

Probly not much difference between them, I bought the one pictured above a few months back and it works great. I'm also in minnesota with snow, salt, sleat, rain this winter hasn't affected it at all. Truck gets washed weekly as well, and doesn't hurt the speaker in anyway with it mounted on front bumper.

The only difference is size. Sound projection/volume is all based on the player.

Yes. I believe it's the same speaker different size. I have both and one is red and one is not.

This newer version includes a delayed output relay to prevent loud speaker pops when the power is turned on / off. Also, some of the older units were sold with power supplies that couldn't quite supply enough current to provide adequate power. I've heard the newer power supplies are better. There's probably some other changes that I'm not aware of. If anyone can elaborate, please do.

Hey if it is in a normal room you shouldn't have a problem with the sound of this speaker. Compared to the mini link this one delivers a lot more power. I don't know about the 3 I hadn't experience with that

If you've got money to burn, then go all out and get a L1 Model 2 with the biggest sub. The Compact won't cut it. Otherwise, save yourself a ton of cash and just get an SWR Bass amp. They sound incredible and it won't cost you what a Bose will.

The Arctic Speaker's bass is OK but not great. For me, I do like the speaker, it does what I want. I have never listened to the Creative Lab speakers so I wouldn't know how to compare them.

The Reference Series appears to be a better overall speaker. It handles slightly more power, seems to have a substantially larger magnet and a deeper mounting depth...which comes at a cost. I have 4 pairs of the cheaper speakers used for whole home audio. For ~$34, they are decent speakers. Depending on your ear and how the speakers are installed, you may or may not be able to tell a difference. For example, I have 2 pairs mounted in the basement ceiling whereby they have the entire truss space to act as the speaker 'box'. These sound noticeably better than the ones on the main level that have a minimal box and surrounded by attic insulation. If your ear is more 'tuned' and you plan to use the speakers for home theater, you may consider stepping up to the Reference Series. I probably would have if they were available when I installed them. But again, at $34, I have no regrets. Hope this helps.

There no difference but my experience was not very good this product only lasted 2 months and it stop working sound quality was not the greatest. A lot of time one side play louder than the other.

It's a bit smaller all around, a smaller speaker and much less power. It's still amazingly loud, just not like it's older brother. The lower power also lets you run it off an external battery pack. For reference I own both.

I looked on Polk's site (suggest you explore more there). Polk indicated the 5000 has a smaller sub woofer, but higher amp power. I think there is a difference in the number (less) smaller drivers as well. When I looked under the "specs" for each system, Polk doesn't make it easy to make direct comparisons. That's the best I can offer - scour Polk's site.

Now we're getting into personal preference. I own both, and am happy with the sound of both speakers - but I like the added punch of the Mini, and prefer its bass response to that of the III. Overall, I'd say the III is better balanced, but they're close enough in sound that I'm thinking about returning the III - the Mini covers my needs. Besides, the III is $100 more than the Mini, and it's not nearly $100 better. Setting sound aside, the Mini has better build quality and it's more portable.

just for one, and if you look you can find the 75T for the same price and they are a lot better speaker, amazon isn't the only one selling these

I was confused by this, too. it looks like the MP141 (cube) is indeed different than the cylindrical speaker. At the ianker site:cube: http://www.ianker.com/product/99ANSP9901-BSAcylinder: http://www.ianker.com/product/99ANSPKER-BMAOn The cylinder page, scroll to bottom for tech specs and it says: "Speaker Output Power: 3W × 1." That's 1W less than the cube MP141.

I honestly couldn't answer this as I did not compare the two. There were 2 similar models that I was torn between so I ended up downloading both manuals at Yamaha to compare them.
