    Yeah, it comes down to your personal preferences. Is this a dueling saber or a shelf queen? Would you prefer red button activation or clamp activation? That sort of thing.

    Hmmm. There seems to be a bit of a rattle when the speaker is active. I’m not sure if there’s a problem with the speaker itself, or if it might be a result of the vibrations created by the speaker.
