soundlink color II vs smart home 300

[SLandsman]

Bose product name  Soundlink color II and smarthome speaker 300

(Quiet Comfort Earbuds, NC700, Portable Home Speaker, etc.)

Country  USA

For many years I've been using a soundlink color I to listen to music and movies (on my iPad) in bed, with the speaker on my night table.  It's been great for the kind of music I usually listen to (Judy Collins, Eagles, etc.), but lately I've started listening to orchestral music, and I'm not getting quite as much clarity as I would like--I want to really be able to pick out each instrument.  Would I do better with two sounlink color II speakers playing in stereo, or a single smarthome 300?

A couple of considerations:

1. If I use two speakers, I would be much closer to one than the other (I sleep on one side of the bed, and each speaker would be on a night table).  Can the balance between L and R be adjusted to compensate?

2. Can I adjust bass vs treble?

3. When I watch a movie, will the audio be in sync with the video?  (I hate it when it is not!)

Thank you for your advice!
