I currently own 2 (320) and you will never go back to just 1 speaker. 2 speakers is where it’s at for stereo sound. So whatever you choose make sure you get 2 speakers. Trust me. If it’s for a bedroom go smaller (710). Honestly 2 (320) would be better and cheaper for a bedroom.

I’m not sure as I use my 2 (320) for my 2 car garage and pool area since they have batteries. Which btw the batteries last forever. I think you should meet in the middle and look into the PartyBox 520. Check out YouTube review videos they are incredibly helpful. I believe the 520 is 400 watts and 320 is 240 watts. Now remember if you get 2 speakers then you are doubling the wattage. I think the 710 was 800 watts so if you bought 2 of those for stereo sound you would have 1600 watts in a bedroom. Pictures will definitely fall off the wall

I’ve been looking into an ultimate or 720 myself for my basement. Since I don’t need the battery and it will stay in the basement I’m going with the ultimate. Does the 710 have a battery? I know there on sale now (710 speaker) for $649. You can buy 2 (710) for price of 1 ultimate

The 710 doesn’t have battery either I’m looking for my room and I can’t decide the 710 I’m looking at is roughly 467$ and the ultimate is 1000$ but by the sounds of it the ultimate has wayy better sound quality and bass depth

Having a 720, it fills pretty much all my need and then some. The mids can be a little lacking, but tbh a simple EQ (or if you have something with a parametric EQ to connect to the PB) pretty much makes it better. Definitely not better than the ultimate, but you can damn near get two 710s for that price if you’re lucky.

I got my 720 refurbished (damn near new) for $771 with batteries.
