A:AnswerHi Midwestmex, thanks for your question. Unfortunately, the wattage of this speaker is not a public specification that we disclose at this time, and here is why. Watts tells an incomplete story when judging a speaker’s performance. To be more accurate you would need to know the watts, the dB rating, and frequency range (Hz) of all the speakers in the unit. Also, the distortion (THD) rate and the number of speakers driven for the rating of watts presented on the box. Yes, those things are not standardized. Then do some math, and you will get a general understanding of the loudness and range of the speaker in question. Then do that for all the different companies and you could compare with specs, though even if they were equal, they may sound different due to processing. At Sony we try to give you the absolute best sounding speaker, that has all the features our customers have told us really matter to them. Hope this helps.

A:AnswerI did a quick search and the XP700 has a slightly wider frequency response range (can go a little bit higher on the sound spectrum) and can go about 5-8 decibels louder than the GTK-XB90. I have one on the XP700's and it can get loud. It will also rattle the walls from the bass. It really is an amazing speaker! Run to a local Best Buy that has one on display and check it out.

A:AnswerHi FLFA, Thanks for your inquiry. The maximum Bluetooth range of this speaker from the source device (within the line of sight*) is approximately 30 m (98 ft).
Note: The actual range will vary depending on factors such as obstacles between devices, magnetic fields around a microwave oven, static electricity, reception sensitivity, antenna’s performance, operating system, software application, etc.

Sam
