120 default and 130 with user EQ

user EQ for the 130:

Out of the box the Partybox 120 is more V-shaped with a stronger bass and treble emphasis. The 130 has lass treble boost, but the bass boost modes boost bass more especially above 100hz. You can achieve a nicer bass boost without so much emphasis above 100hz by boosting the lowest band to +4 or +5 instead of using the deep bass boost.
