Thump Go

There are many options at the moment. Alto TX412B, Mackie Thump Go, LD Systems ANNY, EV Everse, MiniRig, Soundboks, etc. Availability and prices depend on where you live, which one is better might also depend on your goals. Both the Partybox and Soundboks are mostly "party speakers" and their prices

I've bought the Mackie Thump Go for this purpose plus house/street parties with friends. I was more inclined for the Bose but didn't find the sound amazing for club style music, I feel it's better suited for vocals/live music. So my options changed to Mackie vs Everse 8. And then yeah, for this purp

The EV Everse line is solid, built in mixer, battery powered, and good output for it's size. They come in 8" and 12" variants. They are quite light(IMO). JBL has some good options, haven't personally used them though. Mackie is the cheapest option I'd recommend, the Thump Go series is very light, ea

I’ve been learning for about 4 months and it was my starter kit. I recently bought a Mackie Thump Go so I could start doing pre-games and small parties. If I was gonna go back I may have just skipped the Yamahas. The sound quality isn’t studio accurate but it’s louder, rugged, and portable.

If you have the cash, the Mackie Thump Go speakers are fabulous. I have a pair, I primarily use them at gigs as my "amp rig", but I also just use them for fun when I'm jamming because they sound fabulous, and are battery powered. Best combination of a "real" PA, amp, and portability, and with two of

If you’d like it to be portable (small and able to run on a battery) Mackie thump go is a good option. It’s what I have and is plenty loud for a small house party. You could get more bass with one of the 10,12,15 inch models but those can’t run on battery and are less portable. If you really want ba

Acoustic guitar amps often have a usable XLR mic input channel, might check with your guitarist to see what they already have. Bose S1 Pro was the first tiny battery powered speaker that really got people talking, it's a 6.5" unit that works for speech for smaller outdoor events where the crowd/back

Yall are gonna jump down my throat, but this is a question for small gathering house parties… Mackie Thump Go 8” tops and Mackie ThumpSub Go 8” sub-woofer worked PERFECTLY for the last house party I gigged. 10 people, basement living room, nobody complained about sound quality and it was PLENTY loud

Also recommending Yamaha DBR10. Simple, reliable, inexpensive for what you get. Can easily run a Yamaha DBR10 off of a smallish battery power station like Ecoflow River 2 if you don't have power. Also can recommend EV Everse 8, though it's more expensive, the onboard mixer and battery-power make it
