#3 JBL Partybox 1000: $1,099.95 Amazon eBay

Pros: Sounds right up there with the JBL Partybox Ultimate that replaced it, and is the better value of the two. A 12-inch down-firing woofer, two 7-inch midranges and a compression horn tweeter run on 1100W, with mic and guitar inputs and a waterfall light show. A handle and wheels make the 34 kg cabinet easy to move.

Cons: Very large and heavy. No battery. No app.

How it compares: Just above it: JBL Partybox Ultimate - $400 more. Just below it: Teufel Rockster 2 - $170 more.
