Short answer: the Marshall Kilburn II. It ranks #42 of 120 large speakers by sound quality (rated 3.8/5) at $219 and is still sold new; the LG PN7 ranks #95 (rated 2.7/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used.
The Marshall Kilburn II is the better-sounding pick. A rugged Marshall styled stereo speaker with a leather handle, quick charging and a sound that suits rock. The catch: Boosted upper bass, not very detailed, not as deep bass as competitors, upper mids peak.
The LG PN7 is the tougher pick. A waterproof stereo speaker with a long battery, loud maximum volume, and party linking with other LG speakers, now discontinued. It is rated IPX7 against IPX2 for the Marshall Kilburn II. The catch: The two 63mm woofers cannot produce deep bass, so it sounds thin for its size.
Buy the Marshall Kilburn II. It is rated higher for sound quality; the LG PN7 is no longer sold new.
