Only if you can cough up the funds for it.. if I had the spare funds I’d love one.. but after listening to my buddy’s ult 9, I ended up getting the ult field 7.. it’s not the 9 but it hits the spot for me, eventually I’d like that tower or even the ult 10 tower... But $800 is a lot… Like some of the others stated check refurbished on eBay.. might score a good deal.. I bought my ult 7 for 199 refurbished from this seller.. it was spotless when I got mines.. https://ebay.us/m/nUlqBD

I'd go with the Sony ULT 7 for a large speaker, and for a smaller speaker that also produces all frequencies, I'd choose the Marshall Middleton, because of the stereo separation which is superb in my opinion.

I have the ULT field 5, 7 and XG-300.. what you are saying is not true. This is an huge improvement over XG-300 . And for the record sound is not all about bass. The bass is pretty balanced. JBL has an bass that is deeper, but out of balance sound signature. There are people like me who also don't like that

I have the same setup and would advise not to settle for compromises. Get the Harman GP3, and get a second one later / on sale / or refurbished, they often go for 130-150$. I have a pair in TWS at home, wired via $30 LDAC receiver and it sounds vegas! I also tug them outside to the terrace and beach sunset sessions and they rock in stereo setup. You can protect their woofers with a nice grille, and there is a sick carrying case, all cheap enough. Sorry I'm a fan of a great portable sound, and I've had some great success in that venture)

You can't go wrong with Sony also, it's a great one; listen to both at a store if you can , they have somewhat different signatures. For me HK is more transparent and feels at home playing electronic music.

I use the splitter on the R and L RCA OUT and Y cable connecting to the line-in mini jack on each speaker. Works fine with my receiver. Here's the setup: https://ibb.co/5W1wWsXp The difference is cumulative; this setup uses LDAC 990kbps codec, and the audio is noticeably cleaner. It could also be placebo of course, but my living room listening sessions got better. When outside I connect them with traditional SBC and TWS pairing.

sony ult field 7. got one new, open box on macbid for $180, retail is $500. Sound quality is incredible and bass is very deep and does not distort at loud volumes. Cool lights on the sides, battery life of up to 30 hours (and that actually holds up). has an aux port so i can dj with it. ipx67 rated. Genuinely incredible speaker, wouldnt change anything about it. Plus you get an app to tune the eq.

I just got the Sony ULT Field 7. I honestly don’t know how it compares to other competitors, but WOW! It has 3 presets. The first and second (ULT1) settings are OK, but when moving on to the third setting (ULT2), the sound differences are dramatic. I bought it to listen to while I’m working in our Pole Barn and it not only fills the barn full of sound, but my grandkids could hear it clearly over 200 yards away. When you turn the sound higher in volume, I could not hear any distortion. Now, mind you that they describe this as portable. It is in a sense but it’s over 57cm long and weighs over 6kg. But what you get for those dimensions is awesome. Best speaker on the market for the money.

I love my Sony ULT Field 7 Wireless Bluetooth. On its ULT2 setting, it pumps out the sound!! You want bass? This speaker system has it with more power to spare. When I first got it and tried it, my grandkids could hear it clearly over 150 yards away. As loud as I had it turned up (about 2/3 volume) there was no distortion. It’s unbelievable. In fact I’m going to use this reply as a review for it.
