Different classes, so treat this as a step-up-or-not question rather than a head-to-head. The Amazon Echo Studio 2nd Gen ranks #2 of 15 powered desktop speakers by sound quality at $219.99; the B&O Beosound Level ranks #89 of 117 large speakers by sound quality at $2,250.
Why pick the Amazon Echo Studio 2nd Gen: A great sounding Amazon smart speaker, with wide sound from one box, Dolby Atmos and a built in smart home hub. It links with other speakers (Wi-Fi multi-room, Alexa Home Theater), which the B&O Beosound Level cannot. It has an adjustable EQ, which the B&O Beosound Level lacks. Watch for: SoundGuys still marked it down on Value (4.0 of 10) given the $219.99 list price, and it is explicitly not true left-right stereo from one cabinet, so a stereo pair is needed for real width in a larger room.
The B&O Beosound Level is the battery-powered, tougher option. A sculptural luxury speaker that works on battery or mains, mounts on a wall, and streams over Wi-Fi with upgradeable modules. Its battery is rated for 16 hours, while the Amazon Echo Studio 2nd Gen needs an outlet. It is rated IP54, while the Amazon Echo Studio 2nd Gen has no water resistance. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Amazon Echo Studio 2nd Gen lacks. The tradeoff: Not very deep bass, peaks in midrange.
Buy the Amazon Echo Studio 2nd Gen at $219.99 for a powered desktop speaker, or the B&O Beosound Level at $2,250 for a large speaker instead.
