Just went through the same analysis myself. Wanted something small and easy to carry in a backpack. Had a listen to many Bluetooth speakers, including the Bose Mini. To make a long story short, I found the low end weak on most whether it was jazz, rock, country or straight piano. In the end, I went with the Sony SRS-X3. Two 10W drivers and dual passive bass radiators. Has speakerphone capabilities via Bluetooth and an audio input. Battery life seems pretty good at about 6 to 7 hours. Plenty of volume for me in the living room. I usually run it from my smartphone running Pandora or other streaming app...no issues what so ever. About $150. Be sure to get the optional carrying case, adds a nice touch for protection when transporting. YMMV
