Good news. However, after watching some thorough comparisons between Exos-9, Klipsch KMC-3 and Teufel Boomster XL I'm sure that it doesn't have such an incredible SPL. Surely very good for the money, but if you can get a reasonably cheap used Beoplay A8, it will be more powerful sound with less weight (4.3kg). Of course without batteries. But I would be curious to test the AIWA against my units...
