For what it's worth, both Walmart and Amazon have the 2 Speaker version, The Klipsch GIG XXL for $99 & the price history on Amazon shows it drops to $79 quite regularly. Personally, I'd hold out and pay $14 dollars more for the 2 speaker model which according to it's price history pattern, should be very soon.

EDIT: They claim the output of the 2 speaker model is 113db vs 109db for the 1 speaker version. 4db doesn't sound like a lot but consider this. 3db is the equivalent to doubling amplifier output to a single speaker or adding 1 additional speaker with the equivalent power. So it's actually a little over twice as loud. Twice as loud being 3db more.

Dude, for the price of 1 of those, you could buy 4 of these with money left over. Those JBLs are like $300 and up. This is $65. It better be better. It better be a helluva lot better. That's like comparing a $65k car to a $300k+ supercar.

What about this compared to Sony ULT 7? The used ones on eBay run about $200

I've never owned either one, but at $200 vs $65, you're paying over 200% more $ for the Sony. My guess it's going to be better but again, I've owned neither. One thing I've noticed with people and speaker brands is they can be a lot like car and tool brands meaning many people are crazy brand loyal so It's hard to get a good unbiased opinion.

While I agree with you that maybe the other speaker is a better deal. You're incorrect on the 3db fact. 3db is double the SPL, 10db is twice as loud.

I bought the big brother XXL version on an eBay deal a couple years back and absolutely love this sound. I'm sure this will make people happy as well. If you're a HAS TO BE PERFECT person, then you'll never be happy with anything. Enjoy it.

Sure. I'm not going to argue with you because you just want to argue about semantics. After all, it really just comes down to your definition of "twice as loud." 3 dB more is literally the doubling of a precise and measurable acoustic intensity/energy, while that 10db figure you brought up is a roundabout, or what's "perceived" to the human ear as "twice as loud". They are both correct answers. But decibels is an easily verifiable, exact, and precise scientific measurement; the human ear, on the other hand, is not. Its just a human saying yeah, that sounds about twice as loud to me. It won't even be the same number from human to human.
