I don't know about SoundLink but I can say I completely satisfied with my Marshall. Tremendous sound and quality for a small speaker. It's a keeper for me.

I also know nothing about the Soundlink but the Marshall is the cleanest sounding speaker I have ever heard at 59 years old. We put on Robin Trower Bridge of Sighs & thought he was in my living room. Money well spent.

I have the RTI4 and RTIA3 and love them both. I think the RTIA3's require a more capable receiver to power them which may explain why 3rdGen thought they didn't sound as good. I have mine biamped with the Denon 3808 and they sound spectacular. There are times when I listen to them thinking I couldn't possibly imagine a better sounding speaker for the kind of music I mostly listen to, which is minimal electro.

Sounds way better than the big jambox in my opinion. Bluetooth is much worse than the Bluetooth on the jambox though.

I owned the RTI A1's for about three years and recently upgraded to the RTI A3's. There is no doubt that the A3's are a far superior speaker, especially for music. The 6.5" driver gives much better mid bass which makes the sound warmer and smoother. I always felt that I had to really turn up the A1's to be able to hear everything in the music. With the A3's I can hear everything, even when played at low volumes. The A3's are quite a bit bigger (especially in depth) but if you have room for them, I can highly recommend going with them over the A1's. The difference was substantial and immediately noticeable.

I actually sent back the 8040 and got the 8060 because I wanted better bass response. I have the 8040 towers for my left and right channels and love them, but I feel the center needed more umph. Definitive rcommends either the 8040 or the 8060 to pair up with the 8040 towers so I just decided my center was worth the extra monies and I was RIGHT! If you don't have the money for the 8040 center then I personally would save up till you do. To answer your question though, the 8040 center sounds good but isn't as dynamic as I thought it would be.

i like the sound of the mini better, but the 3 gets a lot louder. I'd say if you don't need a loud speaker, go with the mini. Save money and the sound, especially at lower volumes is more crisp on the mini.

Sorry, I don't know. I never owned the Bose sound link mini or sound line 3. I would assume it would be louder for a party. Maybe if you contact Bose they could answer your question.

No difference whatsoever. I have purchased many of these for gifts. Different colors. Those that have them, including me (I take on the road).....all love them. It is a great portable speaker. If you are looking for something more substantial...try the KMC 3 in purple...which may be had for about $200 and is an absolute steal at that price.

Klipsch has bigger speakers 12" and has deeper bass resonance when placed on hard floor. It has better bass tonals than JBL dancehall speakers. My neighbors complained to my landlord when I saw Jurassic Park when it was coupled with my Bose 901's. I literally saw the water disturbance on my cup of water.

Michelle... I have both the Kicker 501 and this one, which is basically the same but wireless. The 501 has slightly more full sound because it doesn't lose any sound quality from the wireless it seems. Don't get me wrong, I shopped for a long time, listened to Bose (the standard bearer) and compared, and the Kickers blow away the competition. And as a bonus, they are generally less expensive. To answer your question more directly, yes. Both will do the job but if the wireless feature is not necessary I would save the money and go with the 501. Her are a couple ways to connect other devices besides an iPod or an iPhone, including an 3.5 mm earphone type jack, and a RCA connection. I hope this helps. Michelle...

I have the Polk TSi400's. Doing a side-by-side sound comparison is virtually impossible anymore since few if any stores will carry both speakers you are considering like these. I have seen the Pioneers before and will say that the Polks are much more expensive looking. The Pioneers have gotten favorable reviews in the audio publications however. I have zero regrets about buying the Polks and I paid more than the current selling price.

I think that the plus model will be best. It has better sound quality and if you, later on, want to add more sound you can do that by just buying another one. I bought a jam plus speaker but I'm not that pleased with it. Guess you could say in a audiophile. It lacks base and distorts a lot. Might be a defective model. I found the JBL micro 1 or 2 to have better audio quality. More base i think. If I could reverse my buy i would have bought that. But still your choice. Goodluck

I have the Acoustimass 3 speakers as well and in my opinion there is no comparing! The Bose 161 are wired into my shop walls. I have 4 speakers that were installed and wired in during building construction. They are average mid-range. The superior sound is with the acoustimass 3 and they are part of my surround sound in my living room. Great sound!

I never used a Mini, but the Soundlink II has a very good sound and bass. I think this choice may depends in what you want: more portable or more powerfull.

I prefer Klipsch. The logitech doesn't have as rich sound in mid-ranges which I play a lot. I purchased the z623 and compared it side by side to my friend's Klipsch and much preferred the Klipsch. The sound is louder, broader and richer. I am returning the z623.

Yes.....the overall sound quality is better. Good bass, excellent mids and highs. Love this thing and would recommend it to everyone.
