What is the best sounding and most powerful boombox?

[floyd]

not to mention the panny rx c100
rx 5350

aiwa carry compo .

jvc pc 5.

 

[Superduper]

alrighty then i guess i nominate the panasonic rx 6400 if the fh can beat that i give up.

Sorry. The Sony FH's can definitely kick that to the curb. The bass (hz's) won't be as low, but from a fidelity and loudness aspect, the 6400 "CAN'T TOUCH THIS".

 

[redbenjoe]

the rotel 10 is ultra incredible --
has an amazing DEEP hard bass hit --

but --i dont think it wants to play as loud as a 6400

 

[redbenjoe]

btw --i love this kind of thread

except --never heard the FH7 --
and failed to pay attention to freddies FH 5

so ....
ignore all my BS posts

where the hell did all these invinceable boomboxes come from ,are they an ancient chineese secret or what

one thing is the heavier the box is the louder it should be or something ain't right .

The RX-C100 is another fantastic sounding unit, and is brilliant sounding. But power wise the FH-3, let alone the 5 and 7 will get it easily. Andthe FH-5 (and 7 with the MK-II/III speaker setup) wil kill it soundstage wise. And power wise so will some others.

BUT...The one advantage it does have is it is clearly designed to be portable, and not more hybrid as the super components. So when on batteries, it shines against the others.

The Carryin Compo ain't gettin carried anywhwere! About 50lbs right?

aaah i get so basically the fh series is like the battlestar galactica with a handle.

I have one of the fh series floyd a standard m90 flat out is prolly a little way over half on mine there mega loud but sadly not portable

 

[floyd]

i still say the aiwa carry compo is no joke only problem is its so damn rare.

Well...

You hav to look at it with some brevity. The real truth is that the FH-7 ain't going anywhere without the power pack. That would make the FH-5 Sony's true top dog portable as any Walgreen's can supply it power. The FH-7 will need AC one way or the other.

Not having the Rotel, I cannot say just how good it is, but based on it's stats, I'll toss it in. So, for me, the best combination of AC/DC, Power, and Sound would be:

1. Sharp GX-300H
2. Telefunken Hifi Studio 1/1M
3. Rotel RPM-10
4. Sony FH-5
5. Pioneer CK-5/5F
6. Sansui CP-7
7. JVC PC-55
8. Sanyo C-9
9. Sharp WF-939z
10. Panasonic RX-C100

m90 is louder than the 55
sharp gx300
sharp 939 sorry to dissagree but mine are end of story as i have all 3

 

[floyd]

i knew the fh series are top notch machines and the sad part is lasonic trc 931's sell for more money most of the time ,sad but true.

EggZacTly! BUT it actually is portable with the Battery Adapter. Some folks don't really understand what the battery pack is. It's not an add on accessory. Basically, the FH-7 can be used in 2 flavors -- AC or DC. The bottom module is all transformer on the FH-7. It's a monster of a transformer too, to match the moster amp chips. The battery module looks eggzactly like the transformer module. Except that instead of a transformer, it has a tray to install 12, count 'em, 12 D cells. Also included inside is a new amplifier module to bypass the larger AC only amplifer modules. The only reason we don't talk about them more is because the battery adapter is so damn rare.

Maybe when AC powered. But for me, drop the Telefunken down to the bottom when on DC. Because it's total crap on 12 volts.

The fh is prolly the loudest box i have heard and i dont mean the fh7 i would call that entry level the big one i have is the fhe same as the ones bill pc55 has

 

[oldskool69]

Could somebody post a spec sheet please?

Tim, I have no doubt the M90 is loud...but loud without losing it? By design alone the three you mentioned will out power the M90. (Though the PC-55 is a mystery as to why it's bass shy, how they engineered that after the PC-5 I'll never know...well there is the PC-11)

First off, the M90 consumes far less power than the aforementioned three. (The GX-300H's rated consumption is 120w, I've measured it at 133w which damn near doubles the M90 at 70w. The M90 JW only eats 60w.)

So unless there is some engineering miracle of the past I'm not aware of, or you're referring to your modded M90...I don't see it mathmatecally or have heard it audibly. And I have compared the M90 along with a roomful of others.

I need to hear your M90.

You are correct. It needs a cell like the FH-7...so...down it goes!!!

And I forgot about the D pack available for the FH-7. I was thinking ofthe NiCad pack...

The reason that the M90 is more thrifty in energy consumption is due to maybe no dial lamp? ................... Nah.

Oldy i certainly dont mean to diss you by dissagreing ok but dont know about specks n all but everybody of my friends has heard battle with my m90 against the 3 m3ntioned boxes and all agreed my m90 left them standing... where i do agree is those big fh series nothing compairs to them...
