Not expecting earth shattering performance from a Bluetooth speaker - though wouldn't that be nice, and at this price range :-o - but good sound quality is a must. Everyone's ears are different, of course, but the Riva Turbo X seems to make a lot of people happy, and your positive experience as...

Just watched and listened to this You Tube video, a soundcheck comparison of the Audio Pro Addon T3 and the Riva S: The Riva S sounded better to my ears so at least one speaker is off my list - only to add another one. I would hope the sound quality of its big sister, the Turbo X, would be...

Good points, buke9, and my patio is just a little thing compared to yours so the Riva should work just fine for me. Holly

That speaker is on my list, as I noted above. Do you use it outside? Some of the reviews I read said it was really made for use indoors, as it sounded best when placed against a wall or in a corner, In the opinions of these reviewers, the speaker just didn't sound as good when used in the...

Thank you for your response, gadu. I am hoping to make a decision this weekend, if not today. Always tough to buy audio equipment when you can't listen to it, especially when you don't have tons of money to spend on "experiments!" Your help is much appreciated. Holly

Thank you for your thoughts on and impression of the Kilburn; I am still very tempted by this speaker and your good impressions of the speaker are quite helpful. What kind of music do you generally listen to, gadu? That might help me to decide...though I assure you I will not blame you one way...

Sadly, no interest in this subject, but I will continue to talk to myself, I have no shame. :-D I will do more research and get it figured out. It would be so much easier if I could actually listen to the available speakers, obviously. Seems the Marshall speakers are true to the company's...

DOH! Sorry, I misunderstood. :blush: Holly

+1 And then let us know!

I currently have a House of Marley Chant BT Bluetooth speaker that I use with my smartphone. (Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/House-Marley-EM-JA008-NV-Portable-Bluetooth/dp/B00VM5I30G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1506511504&sr=8-1&keywords=House+of+Marley+EM-JA008-NV ) I am not much of a partier...

Anytime, Suneerat! :-D Holly

Interesting. I am glad it does not appear to be the IEMs that are at fault, but sorry you seem to be having problems with your music player. I take it you didn't notice this problem when using other IEMS?? Odd that only the Quads picked up on this, though...they must have better resolution...

I wasn't offended at all. Sadly I went way above my audio budget this month - in addition to the IEMS, which cost about $100 more than I was planning to spend, I also got a FiiO E18 DAC/Amp, which I hadn't intended to get at all. My wallet would have appreciated it if I had just waited for the...

lol - I understood your point, just didn't think my post qualified as proof of your point. ;-) I have seen that sort of post here on Head-Fi too, it is not just Reddit. Audiophiles being audiophiles, some folks just think that whatever they like is the best thing since sliced bread and that...
