Bang and Olufsen Beolit 20. Sonos Era 100 and Marshall Middleton are right under.

I’m a big B&O fan and love my Beolit 20. I also have a Brane X which is probably my second favorite. The sound quality is superior on the Beolit 20 but the Brane X gets louder and has a lot more bass. I have a lot of other Bluetooth speakers but these are my top two.

It really depends on what you are doing with it. I don’t take it to the beach because it’s heavy and on the fragile side. I bought mine used off eBay for about 400. I’ve also picked up a bunch of other B&O gear and fixed them myself. Mostly new batteries in a couple of A5, P2 and P6 speakers. Sonos might be a better compromise between sound quality and sturdiness. JBL is rugged but more along the line of Bose sound wise.

Bose SoundLink max , great outdoors while also great indoors sound quality wise it's lacking low end bass but the b&o beolit 20 is a wonderful speaker indoors , amazing sound quality and deep soft smooth low ends, the smoothest I've heard from a Bluetooth speaker but not so loud outdoors so I'd say the b&o beolit 20

The SoundLink max But if price is truly not a concern then the b&o beolit 20 , awesome speaker , crazy deep bass and awesome sound quality with the best mids, excellent for indoors but not loud enough outdoors

B&O Beolit 20. Got it for $499 during BF sale. Currently comparing to Sonos Move 2 ($349) and Bose Soundlink Max ($299). Beolit is the winner overall, followed by Sonos and then Bose. All three are big upgrades from my current Bose Revolve+ and JBL Flip (dont remember the model number of flip). I think Beolit and Sonos are better than Marshall Kilburn 3 as well based on my limited testing

Io ho avuto diversi JBL , anche questo in foto. Dopo ho provato differenza enorme con Beolit di Bang Olufsen, un po’ macchinoso l’abbinamento ( sia AirPlay che Bluetooth) ma il suono è incredibile, tanto che ti sembra di esserci in un concerto. Diversi miei amici sono rimasti impressionati e l’hanno preso dopo averlo sentito. E così da anni . Se invece cerchi bassi molto potenti, tipo tecno , allora direi Bowers e Wilkins - io ho Zeppelin
