I’m also on the same hunt. So far the Lava was comparable to the Xtreme 4 in bass. Good starting point. Xtreme 5 beats it single handily now. I will be returning Lava. Trying Brane X vs Xtreme 5 now. Brane definitely has better bass but I don’t think I like down firing sub designs. Limits placement. Would love the Earfun uboom x but finding one now is impossible even on the used market. So I guess Xtreme 5 or BB4 for pass radiator design 🤷‍♂️

Everyone gave you a horrible list. For the deepest bass possible in a small speaker it's Brane X. The second option would be the jbl boombox 3 wi-fi and as the cheapest alternative the harman kardon go play 3. All 3 of those are 3-way speakers and come close to what a quality speaker should sound like

You can sometimes find the Harman Kardon Go+Play 3 for 250. I had one till it was stolen. I loved it. Otherwise Brane-X from Brane Audio is my #1 choice.
