Bumpboxx and DJ Tech have bass and treble knobs. I don't know what the Diamondboxx has.
I'm not sure about adding a CD player into something so bass-heavy. Even the Kaboom has problems with its CD player vibrating and making noise during heavy bass.
Reli, I read this in one of your previous posts & immediately went to my kaboom & played it at either max, or near max volume & max bass . I had zero audible issues with vibration so it could be that this problem is not a widespread one.
@jimmy; I’m not being defensive nor was it intended as such, really merely stating facts and expanding on Floyd’s post. When I was first attracted to Boomboxes starting with my first (a smallish mono superscope), it was because it was all-in-one. For performance, I had my home seperates but I never did lump those 2-means of audio enjoyment together. To me then and now, they are not the same class. That’s because to me a Boombox is far more than a audio device with a battery, it is something that is self contained, the ability to have music with nothing else required. That’s why even though I had those too, walkmans were never considered to me to be Boomboxes either since it’s missing a needed ingredient. Now comes things like these.... strip out the tuner, strip out the cassette, strip out or never include a CD to begin, heck strip out everything except speakers, and call it a Boombox simply because it has a golf cart battery in it. Uh, no. That’s why without something as simple as a tuner, standalone, it’s merely a huge paperweight. Maybe when they figure out how to add a tuner to their $900 product, something that others have figured out how to do on their $19.95 offerings, I’ll look at it in a different light. In the meantime, it’s just another Bluetooth portable speaker system, nothing more and it’s definitely not a Boombox because it has none of the features or defining criteria to compare with an M90 or anything else. This does not mean that there’s no place for this “new†form of audio device. Just like a car or home amplifier has its place, and I have car and home audio gear. But they aren’t Boomboxes. Anyhow thats how I’ve always felt and will always feel, even though it’s just a name, yet I’m passionate about it because for 40 years, my idea and defining criteria of a boombox is what I love.
