Utilizing?? What’s that? I can count 10 (at least) in my view right now and that’s just without turning my head. The ones that get the most use are indeed in my bathroom. I have a JBL Pulse 3 and a Nyne Vibe that I alternate between for music and podcasts during showers. I have easily hundreds of them (I’m afraid to actually count and they are in so many places I probably couldn’t do so accurately even I wanted to). They run the gamut from the cheapest, smallest ones, to the bizarre Temu variations, to the “projects” I’m restoring, to big boys like Monster RRX and Altec XP-850 (big enough to have two full sized cup holders and designed to float). So many that they have broken containment and are now in multiple residences and infecting others. I have ones shaped like dogs, robots, cars, and every conceivable geometric shape known to mankind. I have ones that are thoroughly unlistenable due to cheap design or manufacturing quality all the way to “audiophile” quality (as well as knockoffs of those). I don’t have a problem. But there is enough lithium in my house to sustain all the bipolar people on the planet or make a hell of a bonfire.
I’ll answer in keeping with the thread. For a small boy, Marshall Willen II. For midrange, a TWS paired set of W-King D8s. For big boy, Monster RRX.
