Short answer: the JBL Partybox 110. It ranks #7 of 44 party speakers at $299.95; the Electrotec Stage One ranks #10 and costs $1450, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
On the Electrotec Stage One side: Gigantic dual swappable battery. Set against that: Designed for more loudness than deeper bass.
The case for the JBL Partybox 110: Very neutral sound, slightly better than the Partybox 100. The tradeoff: Bass isn’t as deep as the Partybox 100. Just as loud and slightly deeper than a Stormbox Blast which is way smaller with better sound.
Buy the Electrotec Stage One if the price matters more than the ranking. Buy the JBL Partybox 110 if the ranking matters more than the price.

JBL Partybox 110: $299.95 Amazon
Pros: Very neutral sound, slightly better than the Partybox 100.
Cons: Bass isn’t as deep as the Partybox 100. Just as loud and slightly deeper than a Stormbox Blast which is way smaller with better sound. Increase treble one step in the app to make it more neutral. Note, JBL daisychain is not compatible with any other non-JBL speaker and is possibly a fully digital signal.
