From Size does matter! Bluetooth brings about Boom Box revival:
Not so portable but reminiscent of a boom box in features and style, Panasonic’s 2014 home audio range includes the SC-MAX770 Mini System (RRP $1,429). Multi-coloured LED lights glow in sync with the music and four-way speakers are driven by a 2-channel Digital Triple Amplifier and a 3300 watt output power.
It features Bluetooth wireless music streaming and an innovative DJ Jukebox function that selects songs between the system’s 2GB of internal memory and a USB device. Using the Panasonic MAX JUKE app, users can play songs from the internal memory, a connected USB drive, or smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth. Up to five people can make playlists and register songs for playback simultaneously.
