Short answer: the B&O Beosound 2 on measured sound quality, the Denon Home 350 on price. The B&O Beosound 2 ranks #7 of 10 powered desktop speakers, rated 3.7/5, at $4,000. The Denon Home 350 ranks #9, rated 3.6/5, at $749, $3,251 cheaper.
The case for the B&O Beosound 2: A beautifully made luxury Wi-Fi speaker that fills a room in every direction, with Chromecast, AirPlay, optical input and multiroom. It supports aptX Bluetooth, which the Denon Home 350 lacks. Watch for: Its bass-forward balance can recess the mids, and its 94dB maximum level is modest for a speaker intended to fill larger spaces.
The case for the Denon Home 350: A large Wi-Fi smart speaker that plays loud, with lossless streaming, built in Alexa that hears you well, and app tone controls. The catch: RTINGS measured a slightly boomy sound profile out of the box and disappointing directivity, so the sound changes noticeably off to the side of the cabinet, plus compression artifacts as it nears max volume.
Buy the B&O Beosound 2 when sound quality outweighs the price for you, and the Denon Home 350 when the price outweighs sound quality instead.
