Short answer: the Bogasing M5, and it’s cheaper too. It ranks #52 of 135 medium speakers at $59.99; the Nashville ranks #65 at $89.99, $30 more.
Both need a specific mode to sound their best. The M5’s cons recommend its bass mode for the flattest response, since the default mode runs hot in the treble with rolled-off bass; even the bass mode has treble that’s a bit rolled off, and the midrange is described as thin.
The Nashville leans on build and battery instead. A sturdy rubber-coated shell, IP67 rating, and fast 18W USB-C charging that can reverse-charge a phone, though our notes describe boosted upper bass and a boosted, somewhat harsh lower treble typical of most Klipsch speakers.
Buy the Bogasing M5 for the better ranking and lower price. Buy the Nashville if IP67 water resistance and Klipsch’s build quality matter more to you.
