Short answer: the Tribit Stormbox Lava. It ranks #3 of 75 large speakers at $100; the Sonos Move 2 ranks #24 and costs $494.99, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
What the Sonos Move 2 gets right: Warm sounding with somewhat rolled off treble. The catch: Not very loud.
On the Tribit Stormbox Lava side: Fantastic bass extension. The catch: Quite heavy for the size.
Buy the Sonos Move 2 if the price matters more than the ranking. Buy the Tribit Stormbox Lava if the ranking matters more than the price.

The Two Speakers In Full
Sonos Move 2: $494.99 Amazon
Pros: Warm sounding with somewhat rolled off treble. Slightly better midrange clarity than the Move 1.
Cons: Not very loud. This may have some of the same issues at full volume that the Move 1 had too, but I’ll need more sound samples at full volume to verify.

Tribit Stormbox Lava: $100 Amazon Aliexpress
Pros: Fantastic bass extension. Goes deeper than the Boom 2 as seen in the linked video of sound samples. Firmware 2.0.0 is a big improvement in neutrality.
Cons: Quite heavy for the size. Some bass boost way down low. Treble and upper mids have some peaks.
Setup: Try out the Alan Ross EQ’s at this timestamp in his video There’s also a max bass EQ from Oluv and you can turn down the lowest slider for it to be more neutral
