OK, maybe you guys can help me out here. Actually a few years ago when Ultimate Electronics existed, they had this displayed out front. The wireless patio speaker. It immediately caught my attention. It sounded good.
So now Im at a place to want to get it. We sit outside a lot and would love to have something more than a tinny small radio.
I see there are really two competing brands out there

Ive read many reviews on both of them and they seem to be comparable in many ways. I think a con for the Cables to Go is the power switch. And a plus for Rocketfish, someone at least said, the sound and bass were good for the size it is. A con seems to be Rocketfish is almost twice as expensive and can only be found at Best Buy.
Any thoughts on these two or others you may know?
