I have a power strip that you can plug up 24 things and 5 USB ports that I keep my phone charged up. I have not had an issue since I bought it.

Having the ability to plug in 24 things and actually understanding how much power each of those 24 things draws are 2 completely separate ideas. The responsibility falls on YOU, the user - to understand this. You better know what you're doing - though after all this time, I know this is falling on deaf ears. Hopefully anyone else that reads your post is actually aware of the potential issues with plugging that many things in.

Why get a battery powered speaker when you could just get something like a Jackery or other portable power station and run any part or all of your existing gear under a wider variety of circumstances?

Unlike a speaker with built in battery - the Power center is available to make ANYTHING available for use - such as lighting, tools, or a source of AC power during a power outage.

This would be a far better use of money than heavy speakers with a built in battery.

I hadn't actually thought of that until Scott mentioned it a couple of posts up but the problem with weight still exists on long walks

Remember though, there were people who had the same line of reasoning when you were a newbie DJ decades ago. They thought "Why would I go with this young guy with little experience. I am very skeptical of a new DJ with almost no market presence. I would rather hire a reliable guy who has a lot of market presence and experience for my event"...

If it weren't for the people willing to book you when you were new on the market, you wouldn't have been able to launch your DJ career. Just food for thought. It is important for at least SOME consumers out there to choose the new company/product over the tried and true old big companies/products. Otherwise, the big guys would have never ending monopolies, and less competition means less new innovative advancing products coming out too.

I will say I am certainly glad I chose Phenyx Pro Microphones these last few years. What a great experience and value for money I have had with them! Just one example for me.

People can improve with time. Hardware can't. You can't change acoustic issues without physical changes.

I've heard many mediocre systems that are loved by their owners. There is no reason to burst their bubble. It may be orders of magnitude better than their prior system. And, it may be good enough for a non discerning audience.

Truth be told the average and some not so average persons couldn't tell the difference between Pyle and QSC if there wasn't a sticker on them. Many more hear with their eyes than with their ears
