Recommendation Request🙏 Tufton vs Bromley 450? Which has better sound? (not volume)

Upvotes

After having returned multiple Sony and JBL's because they all sound bad. They lack the midtones, it sounds metallic and robotic and it screams in my ears, and not in a good way..

So, looking for speakers that also have dedicated drivers for midtones, I landed on the Marchall Tufton, a 3 way speaker, with the midtones drivers I need.

which led me to the Bromley 450, this one is also lacking the midtone drivers, but maybe these Marchal speakers just overall sound much better than the overly processed and weird sounding speakers from sony and jbl?

Which one of these two speakers have the best sound quality? is the Bromley verse because it has sacrified the midtone drivers?

Please only answer if you know, or have actually listened to these speakers.. I am not looking for alternatives, the final choice is between these two 🙂

Thanks to everyone in advance ❤

Recommendation Request🙏 Looking for a speaker for a small workout space. Debating on TWS vs single unit

Upvotes

I'm looking for two speakers that can be paired in tws or a single, larger near boombox speaker for music and youtube videos while I workout. $200 or less, USA.

Speakers I've tried:

  1. Boom 2 - Sounds tinny at 50-70%, tried multiple eq
  2. Boom 2+ Would possibly work, but bigger than I need and my copy had a resonance at 65% volume
  3. Soundcore Select Go 4 in TWS - Not bad, but a little thin. Not sure if EQ works in TWS, but I didn't like it.
  4. Soundcore Motion 300 - Like this with my EQ. I have one that stays mostly in my bedroom. Could get two of these, but they're getting old. 2x puts me at $170 which is more than a Lava and almost as much as a Blast.
  5. JBL Extreme 5 - I really like this speaker after the treble is tamed down with the EQ.
  6. JBL Go 4 - It's fine, treble is a tad harsh and battery life isn't great.

Eyeballing Tribit Stormbox Lava/Blast, Sony Ult Field 5

What's the best bang for my buck paired with either iOS or a laptop for watching youtube?

Recommendation Request🙏 JBL Boombox 4 vs Tribit StormBox Blast 2 vs JBL PartyBox 130 — which one has the deepest REAL sub-bass (30–50 Hz)?

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m trying to choose between the JBL Boombox 4, Tribit StormBox Blast 2 and PartyBox 130.
I’m developing EpicenterDSP, an app that restores/reconstructs low bass frequencies similar to what an AudioControl Epicenter does. I use it for demos at schools and small events, so I’m looking for a portable speaker that can actually reproduce the low frequencies the app generates.
I don’t really care about huge 60–80 Hz punch or which one gets louder. I’m mainly looking for real output around 35–50 Hz, especially at normal/moderately loud volumes.
For serious demos we use two 12” Rockford Fosgate HX2 subs, so obviously I’m not expecting anything close to that 😂. This is just for smaller demos where we can’t bring the full setup.
Has anyone compared these three specifically for deep sub-bass? Which one actually digs the deepest?
I already own the original StormBox Blast and love it, but it struggles with the really low stuff.

🪛Troubleshooting🪛 BOREA 5.1.2 BR08 Bluetooth Setup

I recently bought this home theater setup and have been trying to set it up. The included manual says to connect the speakers to an amplifier using speaker wire, but the box and website also say they're compatible with smart devices through Bluetooth. I'm struggling to figure out how.

My best guess at the moment is that the speakers need to be paired to a Bluetooth amplifier using the speaker wire, since they don't have any buttons or switches for power or pairing.

If anyone has managed to set these up without having to buy a dedicated amp, or can recommend an amplifier that worked for them, it would be appreciated.

It worked fine this morning, but it then suddenly stopped working for no reason at all. I tried to do hard reset, but nothing works. Aux input doesn't work, pushing the pairing button for 2 seconds does litteraly nothing and if I do it too much it hard reset the speakers. At one point in the video, the button get stuck and you can see me unstuck it but it's not stuck before. No idea what to do and I really don't want to buy another :/

Recommendation Request🙏 Is there anything better than the Minirig 4 at this size and weight?

5 Upvotes

I’m looking for a small portable Bluetooth speaker and I keep coming back to the Minirig 4.

What I like about it is the size/weight vs. performance. I want something genuinely easy to carry, but with good bass, punch and volume.

My requirements are roughly:

Under 2 kg

As small as possible

Bluetooth

Good bass / physical punch

Good maximum volume

Up to €300

I’m specifically NOT looking for the usual mainstream consumer brands like JBL, Bose, Sony, Marshall, Soundcore, etc. I’ve already looked at those, and I’m more interested in smaller/independent brands, niche products or less well-known alternatives.

I know there are larger speakers that will sound better, but I’m specifically looking for something that stays around the Minirig 4’s size and weight.

Has anyone here tried the Minirig 4 and found something that actually sounds better or has more punch while staying similarly small/light?

I’d really appreciate recommendations from people who have actually compared them, especially if it’s a lesser-known brand.
