JBL Eon One would be comparable to the Maui 11, Bose Compact, and similar models by other manufacturers in terms of sound output, but the Eon One Compact competes with the Bose S1, and both can be battery operated. If I were to choose between the two for battery operation and small venues, I'd choose the Eon Compact. By the way, I almost bought the RCF Evox, but I just didn't like the idea of carrying two units for stereo, whereas the Nano 608i is a 2.1 stereo system, which can be also operated in mono. Plenty of inputs and outputs, also a lot of control via Bluetooth from an IOS device.
