The Kaiser's New Clothes?

Looking for a portable Bluetooth speaker for indoor and outdoor use, I came across almost 100% positive reviews of the Bose SoundLink Mini. So requested with correspondingly high expectations for testing and various reference -Cd`s pure. Yes, the speaker makes a high impression, etc. everything is right, even the sound is ok for the size. but by far superior? and suitable for party's? The volume goes full blast just for a leisurely 16 clock tea dance. The SoundLink Mini is a valiant effort, but overworked part, shakes and vibrates, no, somehow missing the volume and Reserve Power !! Probably because of the size and the OPERATION Battery? My expectations were not met, the search continues.
