These are not really the same size class, and that is the honest framing here. The Tribit Stormbox Lava ranks #3 of 75 large speakers at $100; the Tribit Xsound Mega ranks #20 of 134 medium speakers at $100.
On the Tribit Stormbox Lava side: Fantastic bass extension. Set against that: Quite heavy for the size.
The case for the Tribit Xsound Mega: Deepest bass of any medium size speaker. Set against that: Single driver, not stereo.
Buy the Tribit Stormbox Lava at $100 if you want a large speaker. Buy the Tribit Xsound Mega at $100 if you want a medium speaker instead.

The Two Speakers In Full
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

Tribit Xsound Mega: $100 Amazon
Pros: Deepest bass of any medium size speaker. Use xbass mode for flattest frequency response.
Cons: Single driver, not stereo. Lack of detail. Lack of upper treble, peaky lower treble. Not great off axis. Keep in mind this speaker gives up some sound quality for deeper bass.
