Hands down the UE Boom2
Own 4 of them and they all pair to each other. Have used the JBL flip2 doesn't compare.

I have the Riva Turbo X and it’s not nearly as loud as I want it so using that as a data point....

2 Should be fine if you have one on each side paired.
3 even better...
I'm used to hearing 3-4 at once.

Now a dilemma: do I buy 2-3 of these for $100 each, or rent a 1000 watt speaker for $75-100 for the night?

im a big fan of buying than renting. You’ll have it always. Also, How much blasting do you really need it to be??

So I've decided to buy something, want to spend $100-150.

I need it for an indoor party with about 50 guests. Hard to know exactly what specifications to look for. I read through this list: https://www.outeraudio.com/party-speakers/

Here are some in the price range, in addition to the ones listed upthread. Would like something I can put on a stand. Any recommendations?

Get with the times. Significant difference between the flip 2 to 3, and also from the 3 to 4

Noone said not , when comparing the Ueboom to the JBL 2 it's no comparison, while the 3 and 4 are nice but I would still take the ue boom over those JBL speakers.
I've had the JBL flip 2 for quite some time and it's still running strong never bother upgrading it as I got the UE boom which I'm happy with.

I read that you want 5 watts per person indoors and 10 watts per person outdoors. Any truth to that?

Well music played indoors is surrounded by the walls which would keep the sound limited to the room, while music played outside doesn't bounce off anything, which would require the volume to be louder for the same 50 people outdoors vs indoors which would be fine.
Didn't know they require x amount of wattage per person!

What I am trying to say is that the flip 2 looks and feels junky. The flip 4 is much better. Completely different speaker.

Any insight would be helpful
