Default Bluetooth speaker(s)
Any recommendations for a decent Bluetooth speaker or two for use on my deck this summer. My little JBL 'Charge 2' , while a capable little gem is somewhat lacking for larger areas.

I want no part of those silly looking Karaoke style boxes with the speakers lighting up in all different colors.

Looking to keep it under $200

KEF Muo Portable Bluetooth Speaker should do the trick and on sale for $199.99 from KEF Direct.

Looks nice Ron but I don't see much of an advantage over my existing JBL

Why not get the JBL Xtreme? I've actually got two (you can pair them for stereo listening) and they'll definitely fill up some space.

Dali Katch, brilliant but it costs 399€.
Add a second one later, and you get real stereo.
20 hour battery life (I even got 25 hours).

Any updates in the BT speaker world? I’m in the market for something that sounds well balanced. Dali Katch that BART mentioned looks good....

I take it along everywhere when I travel.
It beats the B&W T7, which I also liked, by a wide margin.

Thanks for the update Bart.
GH, thanks, the Peachtree looks really great but I need a battery operated unit to use on our boat.
