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.

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Klipsc...4fc4369637

https://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-Gi...r=8-1&th=1

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.

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.

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.

I got my encore last march, refurbished from the Harmon JBL ebay store for $125. It is awesome.

Quote from Bodynerd :
The psychoacoustics are the most relevant metric here and you know it. Nobody is HEARING a 3db or 4db difference and thinking wow that's significant, in fact quite the opposite they just barely noticed so save your enthusiasm about the 4db.
For a guy that's "not arguing" you sure went out of your way to bolster your own minimally relevant contribution. It's wild that you just passed off (the +10db statement rooted in) decades of psychoacoustic research as a "roundabout guesstimation of what's perceived by the human ear" and "just a human using his unaided ear" as if research doesn't involve sample size and use statistics to handle variance. It's also a cheap and fallacious argument that by the virtue that something can be measured exactly that it is more relevant than something that may involve subjectivity or variance. I give your post an F-
3db is more significant than you make it sound and 10db is faaar more significant than you make it sound, and is a lot louder than twice as loud. For example & to simply things, to achieve a 3db gain (111db to 114db) or twice as loud is as easy as going from 2 speakers & 200 watts to 4 speakers and 400 watts. On the other hand, to achieve a 9 dB (not even 10) increase or go from 111db to 120db you would need to go from 2 speakers and 200 watts to 16 speakers and 1600 watts total which gives you a 9db gain which is more than twice as loud. You want another 3db for a 12 db overall gain? That'll be 32 speakers and 3200 watts vs where you started at 2 speakers and 200 watts.. Twice as loud is simply doubling everything, or going 1 speaker and 100 watts to 2 speakers and 200 watts which equals a 3db gain. It doesn't get any simpler than that. Using the unaided human ear vs a calibrated microphone to measure loudness is the same science as using your finger vs a thermometer to measure temperature. You get an F-- What I'm talking about can be replicated literally a million times and you get the exact same figures a million times. What you're talking about, you'd be lucky to get the same figure if you did it twice, even with the same person.

You keep forgetting people buy these to listen to and not measure. Bodynerd is correct here. After being serious about audio for 40 years, I can tell you for a fact that most people would say 3db is only a slight increase in volume. You're also ignoring scale: the difference between 40 and 43db will be more noticeable than the difference between 90 and 93db. I have done three different instrumented listening sessions, and can confirm that perception matches measurement as Bodynerd stated.

10 dB is percieved as twice as loud. 3 dB will have more intensity and as said takes two times the power or doubling of speaker generally to reach. Its noticeable but not twice as loud.

My man, I can promise you on the life of my firstborn child that going from 2 15" subs with with 2000 watts in your car to doubling everything to 4 15" subs with 4000 watts will not yield just a slight increase in volume. It will be significantly louder. It's literally twice as loud, or 3db louder to be the exact measurable. Why? Because it's literally twice as much or 100% more measurable acoustic intensity/energy. Unlike the best guesstimates made by Average Joe Blow and his unaided human ear, I'm talking about the Laws of Physics, & the exact measurables about it.

You can throw the word "generally" out the window here. What I'm talking about is the laws of physics and using an instrument to get a precise scientific measurement than can be replicated 10000000's of times with the exact same figures and outcomes,.. every single time. It's far from "generally speaking". If you want to use the word "generally", apply it to using the unaided human ear trying to measure loudness. Joe blow using his ear will only tell you if its a little bit loud, kind of loud, loud, super loud, or super duper loud which is still all highly subjective and will be different from person to person. LOL That will give you a general idea of how loud it is. Using your ear to measure loudness is like using your finger to measure water temperature or Joe Blow eyeballing the height of a tree saying yeah that really tall, vs using a tape or laser to measure it. Using basic human senses to measure anything is probably the least precise way to measure anything. You think 10db isn't a HUUUGE difference? Consider thisd,.. to achieve a 15 db overall gain from 2 speakers and 200 watts, you'll need to bump it up to 64 speakers and 6400 watts. That's the exact science behind sound. Not generally speaking. It's an exact science and a lot of math. I welcome you to double check me, use AI, whatever you need. I'm confident in everything I've said.

Uhhh yeah it doesn't compare it's also almost 1/6 the price of the encore 2 at full retail.

According to reddit the klipsch is only about 30 watts RMS, vs 100watts RMS on the JBL encore 2. Not a great comparison as others have noted. I might expect the Kilpsch to have a more balanced and accurate sound, but that is usually NOT the goal with these sort of portable speakers. Really your use case and budget should dictate a choice here.

I've been very pleased with my Tribit stormbox blast for a few years now. IIRC it comes in at about 90w of power. Not really made for karaoke like these others but comes much closer to the JBL for about half the price. Seeing about $170 on amazon or $100-120 on ALliExpress. Taking a shower with the stormbox in my tiny bathroom is EPIC.

When comparing lower powered speakers like this, speaker sensitivity becomes a major factor in overall loudness. For example, a speaker with a sensitivity of 93db will be a LOT louder than a speaker with an 87db rating with the same power. In fact, for an 87db speaker to play as loud as a 93db speaker it would need quadruple the power. So 160w vs 40w for the same loudness. I'm not saying it is, but it's easily possible that 30wrms Klipsch could be louder than the 100wrms JBL. It largely depends on their sensitivity ratings along with other factors as well, but the point is, there's more variables to look at than just root mean square power handling. Pay close attention to speaker sensitivity, it can typically range from 87 to 93db, which is a massive swing.

Understood, but I don't think either manufacturer has published driver sensitivity data, and this is quite common for portable speakers like these. In lieu of that data power rating (if honest ofc) is still a metric even if incomplete.
My good friend and bandmate has the Encore 2 and we got to compare it to my stormbox. It is certainly a bit louder and bassier, but not proportionate with the price difference.
I have not heard the klipsch in person but that power rating seems to be commensurate with reviews and comparisons online.

I was really excited about this speaker since I use two of the XXL versions at work and have had a great experience with them. Unfortunately, this one failed within about 15 minutes of use. It powered on normally but completely stopped producing any sound, which makes me think something internal blew. Pretty disappointing given my expectations going in.
That said, Woot handled the return without any issues, so the risk still seems worth it.
