My wife said it arrived today .. I'll be home Friday morning, so I'll let you all know what it looks and sounds like this weekend.
So what's the verdict Rick? You test the speaker out yet?

Never cared for the little AA ELS Go8BT speakers I bought, so I'm trying another option. Bought just 1 (will buy a 2nd if it's decent) of the new Alto Transport 12 speakers.
Got it for $350 shipped .. should be here the end of next week. I'll let you all know if it's decent or a piece of s**t.

Easy enough to add something like .. Alto Professional Bluetooth Total Bluetooth Receiver XLR Equipped | Full CompassI agree if this had bluetooth I would probably buy one today.
I picked up a speaker last night very similar to this. It's a no name brand but seems to have similar features (USB, BT, battery powered, Wheels and handle, Wireless mic) to this one it looks almost identical actually. Claims to be 2000 watts but I'm sure it's nowhere lose to that. I haven't even opened the box yet I'll probably do it this evening and give it a little run. It was on sale at a local Shoppers Drug mart for $199 I grabbed it because it was the only one there. If it's any good it will be a ceremony system. If it's not I can return it or use it outside here at home
Alto sells a little stick that plugs into the XLR that gives it BT if needed ..My Transport 12 arrived today. I didn't have much time for testing but it powers up and runs a USB stick. First impression I am very pleased with it it's much better than I expected. Even the Mic isn't bad and has decent range. I went about 200 Ft and it was still working with no issues. to my ears the sound is a little sharp but decent overall but I didn't toy with it much either
As many times as I read this thread and other reviews on the box telling me different I had it in my head there was BT built in but there was not. A little disappointing but my fault for not noticing and not a deal breaker
