Hi Folks! Firstly, I never could have imagined posting here. I am not an "audiophile" nor a muso. I drive a van for a living but without R4, R4Extra, R6, and various other podcasts and broadcasts, I would have driven in to a bridge support years ago. So, recently I decided to treat myself to one of these : https://www.techradar.com/uk/reviews/lg-pk7-portable-bluetooth-speaker
Now, this has had great reviews, including from "WhatHiFi" .. But when I got it I was underwhelmed. I have already a small cheapo 3W+3W speaker. This new one is a BEAST! 3kg! 20W + 20W... But side by side there is little difference (to my ears) The big one is without doubt "warmer" and "fuller" But is no "louder". I presumed that a thing originally retailing @$250/£200.00 (I paid £100.00) , and weighing in at a metric ****-tonne (official SI unit) would have a bit more "punch" My hair does not move, and horses and old ladies remain calm. My question is: Was I expecting too much? Or is my unit faulty?
