I’ve had the Doss Soundbox XL for years now. Awesome bass for the size/price of it.
Nearly any decent Bluetooth speaker has stereo (or more) pairing now. I have experience with many speakers, but to name a few - some inexpensive Maio BT speakers that outclass far more expensive UE Boom speakers that I own, both do wireless stereo pairing. I also have a Doss soundbox that kills it in audio quality... no wireless pairing since it's like a stereo boombox, but I can expand it via aux cord. I also have an Edifier S300 which is big and boomy (but can be EQ'd nicely) and that also wirelessly stereo pairs. It does wifi streaming losslessly as well so points there. The point is there are tons of options now, some better than others but many can do stereo pairing so that compromise is mostly nullified. Many do wifi streaming and lossless codecs. The gap is narrowing.
