LG RK8 LOUDR BT Entertainment System

This is an excellent speaker with so many features you will spend months trying to master all of them.The most important thing is the sound quality. It vocal forward, bit oddly, the vocals don't over power the mix. Vocals are just very present, it sounds REALLY good.You really get a sense of how a singer REALLY sounds if that makes any sense.The sound is VERY detailed. Sound stage is not super wide, but everything is still very present.If you are sitting in a living room with this speaker behind you, you could be tricked into thinking an actual band is playing behind you. The vocals are amplified like a singer singing into a microphone. You can hear when the vocalist smacks their lips.As far as loudness, it EASILY matches the Aiwa Exos 9. It probably gets a tiny bit louder.The Aiwa has a wider sound stage though(maybe due to angled speaker). So when standing right in front of them, the LG sounds more powerful.The Aiwa does hit sub bass better than this speaker, but this speaker is no slouch in the bass department.If you choose this over the Aiwa, you won't be disappointed.Lastly, I know a lot of people use Bluetooth speakers to watch Netflix or YouTube on their phone. Well, I can confirm there's zero latency on this speaker. So that shouldn't be a worry.It IS heavy though, that's one thing to consider. It comes with a strap but still. It's heavy.I highly recommend this speaker. LG finally does something right and almost no one knows about it.I tried their PK7, that speaker line is a dud. Waste of money. If you were saving for that speaker, save just a bit more and grab this one you WON'T regret it.
