rosetree Unregistered	instead of iLoud or Bose Sounddock portable, what do you think of this premium "picknick basket" as a speaker for mini gigs? Bang & Olufsen, still expensive, but reduced to 499�. http://www.beoplay.com/products/beolit12#illustration-1

rosetree Unregistered	BTW, according to many reviews, this speaker has 120 W RMS! (I don't find this spec on the Bang & Olufsen website).

rosetree Unregistered	I'll cautiously test it, luckily there are 2 Bang & Olufsen stores in my area. Unfortunately, I read in a review that the signal has a time lag when amplified, which would make it unusable for live use... (Would be the same problem as with the new Bose Soundtouch product line).

She hasn't been back in many years, and I showed her your location. Small world sometimes.

Small world sometimes. Really! Wuppertal is only 30 miles from my place. I often pass by on the way to Cologne. Real coincidence.

We used to have an English language regulars' table in WITTEN 15 years ago, when I studied in BOCHUM, where I still work a lot, and I live in Dortmund :-)

rosetree Unregistered	Doesn't surprise me, Witten, Bochum, Dortmund, it's all completely intertwined, but Dortmund is the center ;-) Coming back to the mini speaker topic, I successfully tested the Bang & Olufsen 'basket' in the store today, it has no signal latency and a sound which appeared more powerful than the Bose Sounddock portable to me, so I believe the spec of 120 W RMS. I guess it'll be mine by Thursday (the 'special offer' will end then), and I'm going to sell one of my Bose docks (which I never thought I would).
