What is the best sounding and most powerful boombox?

[oldskool69]

...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...

No sweat man! It's a spirited debate and there is nothing wrong with that.

Cool thread!
I love my JVC-PC55JW & C!! They get ridiculously lous but like Freddie says-thay lack a little in the bass department.
My M-90 is so excellent,there's hardly a better boombox for warmth and seperation!! It's a special box.
Now my Pioneer CK-R5 is a serious contender,the sound is so clear-so clear not as loud maybe as a M-90 but so nice.
It's the same on batteries!! I like that,so is the M-90!
My next hitter is going to be a FH-7!! These are the "bomb'!!
I want Ira's Rotel!!!!
Heavy hitters-that's what it's all about!
Have a great night-GB.

Hi Freddie-I sure will even if I have to buy another!!!
How's the "Pitbull" running tonight? The modded GX-300 isn't it?

BTW-I have to run the Pioneer SX-V90 for some tunes tonight!! At 125 watts per channel @ 0.003THD
Better yet-It boasts 156 WPC Peak @ 0.03% THD!!! Yes home stereos are needed some nights!!

Freddie-I just made a special place next to my bed for the new CK-R5!!

Have a great night-Jeff.

I say we should get all these heavy hitters in one room so we can have a good old fashioned boombox battle... ...this is why I will definitely be at the next meet...this is really good stuff!!

 

[Superduper]

Melly. If you drive, take me along in the trunk.

The GX-300H is bone stock. The Sanyo C-9 is all stock except for the speakers because the originals couldn't handle the power output.

...next to the FH series the Panny Platinum series is up there as well along with the Sharp GF 800/WF 939 as well but the FH will bury them on power...But I do love my 680 and my CS 780 with 690 speakers attached...

If you have the money, then I think the M90 is certainly the best choice . I have heard two at the meeting in Dessau and they surely beat the rest
ALTHOUGH I have to say that the bass of the GF-1000 blew me away . The heights are not that good on the GF-1000 when the bass is cranked up though.
The M90 can get amazingly loud without sounding bad...many boomboxes start to sound like prrrrr in the bass when they get loud and you have to take out lots of bass with the equealizer. (Sorry for my poo poo English by the way xD).
If I have the money once, I am going to get an M90 too

lopez !!!!

thanks for that awesome piece of work

and you are an amazing piece of work .....

 

[LLopez]

Glad to help out man.

 

[floyd]

what about thew aiwa cs880 may not be as loud as the fh but the sound to weight ratio radio of the aiwa has to be pretty damn good.

 

[floyd]

sharp hk 9000 thats big beast of a box some say mighty loud too
jvc kaboom is said to have some bass.

 

[gld1307]

This thread has been fantastic

I think this sort of question is difficult to answer because, for instance:-
- the best sounding box is not always the loudest.
- The loudest could be amongst the least powerful (due to the abscence of bass).
- the most powerful may have the least perceived loudness but have more bass (because bass takes more energy to produce).

So are we talking about sound quality and, if so, which music is are we talking about; 'quality' for classical is quite different to 'quality' for heavey metal and Rap?
If we are talking about loudness or power (which are different in my view) are we looking at the full sound spectrum because a boombox can be bass shy enable all the energy to be put into the mid-high frequencies that the human ear is most sensative to.

I am being a little provocative here because I have only to boxes ( modified gf-777 which is just an absolute pleasure to listen to and a crown 850) so this is a real education for me and I doubt if I'll ever get to hear let alone own an M90

Cheers guys.
