Great sound (until I upgraded to firmware 1.9)

I originally was looking forward to the new xtreme2 speaker, but then I found out it’s only 20 watts on battery?!!??
WHAT IS JBL THINKING?? And now since I supposedly upgraded to firmware 1.9. (Don’t do it) 1.6 is better..
on 1.9 the bass is weaker on battery, the compression algorithms are worse(speaker looses bass at higher levels, treble is also slightly cut down) but the WORSE is the speaker now compresses audio on AC!!!
Are the engineers at JBL losing it?
I wish I can go back to Vers 1.6! That actually was better, they still need to enhance the the sound, increase the power to at least 30 watts on battery, we can sure handle losing some battery life for better performance...
I might sell this thing if JBL doesn’t make this speaker louder and more powerful than the Xtreme 1 which has boomy bass and harsh treble at higher volumes.

Well, it’s good but overall sound quality gets worse if you turn the volume above 80% (bass reduces seriously). Oh yeah, it’s also not as loud as I expected. For indoor usage it’s good but for pool party or something... just forget about it. I used it once at pool party (14 persons) and I was asked several times to increase the volume when speaker was already at 100%. Would I recommend it? For indoor usage yes.

Speaker was brilliant before update.

I was running firmware 1.6 and the sound was terrific, huge bass and punchy mids. I since updated to 1.9 and the update failed on the last few percent and my firmware went to 8.8.8. The speaker is now terrible. The bass is lacking badly and the mids seem to be muffled. The overall sound is now quite poor. I don't know what has happened but I am very unhappy with my speaker now. I just want 1.6 firmware back now, but there is no way of reverting to it. Buyer beware!
