Speaker Spotlight: Which BT speaker should I buy?

When looking at speakers there are a lot of different options that will be loud enough for a home office environment, and some even too loud. We set a budget of $250 and set out to find the best home Bluetooth powered speaker. First look at what Bose offers today in this range with the Bose Soundlink Revolve priced at just $219. https://www.amazon.com/Bose-SoundLink-Revolve-Portable-Bluetooth/dp/B06XCQKTKR/ref=sr_1_23?crid=3L56MB1P99JRH&keywords=bose%2Bsoundlink&qid=1707787897&s=electronics&sprefix=bose%2Bsoundlink%2Celectronics%2C103&sr=1-23&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.f5122f16-c3e8-4386-bf32-63e904010ad0&th=1

At a comparative price $219 and maybe some more bass for your buck. Klipsch Groove XXL Portable Bluetooth Speaker

For a little more vintage look Marshall Acton III Bluetooth Home Speaker

If you are willing to spend an extra $100 and get a little different vintage look with the power and Alexa capability built in check out the JBL Authentics 200 listed at around $350:

Overall, these speakers all get the job done for a home office, but depending on power and style your preference may change. We like the Marshall speaker for under $250 considering it has a nice blend of style and sound.
