Short answer: the Gemini GGO-650L, though neither ranks well in its class. It ranks #86 of 113 boombox speakers by sound quality, rated 2.5/5, at $99.95; the Marshall Tufton ranks #89, rated 2.4/5, and costs $474.95, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 113 boombox speakers; for better sound, the Tribit Stormbox Blast ranks #2 at $199.99.
The Gemini GGO-650L is the tougher option. An inexpensive stereo party speaker with a big woofer, water resistance and a 10 hour battery. It is rated IPX5 against IPX2 for the Marshall Tufton. It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the Marshall Tufton.
The Marshall Tufton is the deeper-bass, longer-running option. A classic Marshall styled boombox with a long battery, quick charging and sturdy construction that spreads sound all around. Its bass reaches about 42Hz before falling 10dB, against 56Hz for the Gemini GGO-650L. It is rated for 20 hours of battery against 10 for the Gemini GGO-650L. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Gemini GGO-650L lacks. Watch for: Not much lower bass, upper bass boomy, boosted treble, not very balanced overall.
Buy the Gemini GGO-650L. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Marshall Tufton and costs less, which makes it the one to get unless you need something the other one does better.
