Short answer: the Devialet Mania. It ranks #54 of 117 large speakers by sound quality, rated 3.6/5, at $899; the B&O Beosound Level ranks #89, rated 2.8/5, and costs $2,250, which makes this an easy call rather than a real tradeoff.
The B&O Beosound Level is the longer-running pick. A sculptural luxury speaker that works on battery or mains, mounts on a wall, and streams over Wi-Fi with upgradeable modules. It is rated for 16 hours of battery against 10 for the Devialet Mania. Watch for: Not very deep bass, peaks in midrange.
The Devialet Mania is the better-sounding, deeper-bass option. A compact, good looking Wi-Fi and Bluetooth stereo speaker with Alexa built in and splash resistance. Its bass reaches about 47Hz before falling 10dB, against 60Hz for the B&O Beosound Level. At 5.1 lbs (2.3 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the B&O Beosound Level at 7.3 lbs (3.3 kg). The catch: Not very loud.
Buy the Devialet Mania. It is rated higher for sound quality than the B&O Beosound Level and costs less, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.
