This is the comparison of AIWA against Boomster XL I was referring to. The Boomster XL is rated 102db, so still quite low in the ranking of JBL L8, Beoplay A8 and Sounddock 10. I wouldn't consider the Boomster XL anyway, as its weight is insane, 22 lbs, as much as the Nano 300 with its 116db. (BTW, the FBT J5a speakers are rated 113db @ 1m, with only 15 lbs weight per pair).
