So I recently read an article on C|NET claiming that a 90's Boombox had better sound quality than most portable speakers of today. Me being a vintage guy immediately believed it without any proof! Well, I have a 1992 Sony boombox and a 2015 JBL Charge 3. So I decided to take both "portable" sound systems and check the audio quality. I find the difference amazing! I think you will too!
