ematthews Audioholic General Feb 14, 2008 1,474 0 63 Apr 20, 2015 #1 Looking for a blue tooth speaker for poolside play. Of course being a HIFI type person I am looking for good sound that is clear and balanced. I will be streaming music from an Iphone or Ipad. Should play loud enough to be able to speak over an AC unit and kids playing around the pool. Any suggestions? Max 300 budget. Below 200 would be better.

This is $400, but may be a good reference point: http://forums.audioholics.com/forum...tions-for-music-in-shower.94412/#post-1080205
