Marshall Stanmore II Wireless Bluetooth Speaker - Black (UK)

Product Information

Les mélomanes trouveront leur bonheur avec cette Enceinte MARSHALL STANMORE II, qui allie puissance, look et connectivité. Plus qu'une enceinte, un mini-ampli Looking to fill your rooms with music? Our team of audio experts spent weeks living with the 8 best home wireless speakers. We consulted an audio engineer to develop an exclusive testing plan, and then we proceeded to listen to a huge variety of music. Our teams tested these speakers side-by-side to evaluate sound quality, user-friendliness, maximum volume, quality of wireless connection, and how easily they integrate into a multi-speaker system. Whether you want a speaker for every room of your home or a single melodious machine for your main living area, our in-depth review will help you find the best wireless speaker for your needs and budget. The rose-gold accents really lend the design of this speaker a sense of sophistication, and are carried through the bottom panel, Marshall logo, and the controls on the top of the casing. Bluetooth lets you connect your smart device wirelessly, boosted by aptX technology for a lossless, stable link. With multi-host functionality you can easily connect two Bluetooth devices and switch between them. Or connect wired devices in traditional fashion via 3.5mm or RCA audio ports. There’s no hiding that the Stanmore II falls behind top performers such as the Sonos One and Harman Kardon Go + Play in certain areas, though. Bass control, dynamics and separation are just okay.

Having bass and treble controls is one of Marshall’s calling cards when it comes to its speakers, and it’s a lovely touch, especially if you like being able to control exactly the way your music sounds. This speaker is boxy and brassy, with a set of no-nonsense knobs to twiddle, and we love it. None of that touch-sensitive control rubbish or a sci-fi look that’s only suitable for the ultra-minimalist here. Alexa may be able to do much of the everyday adjustments for you, but when you want more bass, you can also twist a big knob on the top. Doing so illuminates a scale around the edge, telling you instantly what level you’ve reached in a delightfully retro way.

The Marshall Stanmore II has a timbre score that places it among the top devices our engineers have tested thus far, and it performed well across the various use cases and with a variety of types of music and other content in this key attribute. Two tweeters and a woofer are individually powered by Class D amps for a combined total of 80 watts of powerful sound. The Stanmore II’s advanced components combine to produce clean and precise audio, even at the highest volume. Fine-tune bass and treble via the analogue knob controls atop the speaker, or via the Marshall Bluetooth app (available on iOS and Android). Using the app is simple. Just connect your devices, adjust the volume, and get on with your life. You can fiddle with more detailed adjustments if you’re that way inclined, like equalisers and noise control for headphones – everything is there to help create your perfect fit.

However, place the Stanmore II side-by-side with a classic Marshall head and you’ll notice that the finer points of their visual impact are completely different. In a good way.

Rock 'n' roll gets sophisticated

Whether the Marshall Stanmore III is the right choice for you or not will depend largely on what you need from a wireless speaker. If you want something that will look really cool and sound fantastic with loads of power then this will be perfect, but if you’re looking for advanced smarts like voice control and multiroom then you won’t get either of those and you’re better off looking elsewhere. If you want a speaker to move throughout your house and on the go while still maximizing sound quality, the Bose SoundLink Revolve+ II is ideal. The lightest speaker we tested, we were consistently impressed by its excellent sound design, which was never sacrificed at the altar of portability. If you feel the need to push this speaker beyond its singular capabilities, our testing found that the Bose SoundLink Revolve+ II's appropriately titled "party mode" allowed seamless pairing with other Bose SoundLink speakers. It can also link with the Bose Home series speakers via Bose SimpleSync. Furthermore, this speaker has an incredible battery life, a testament to this speaker's tremendous portability both within the home and on excursions out. You can also create a stereo pair of Stanmore IIs using the Marshall app. Marshall Stanmore II Bluetooth – Sound quality

Marshall is the most iconic name in guitar amplifiers – but if you’re reading this then you probably know this already. Famous names who have used Marshall kit over the years include Hendrix, Van Halen, Slayer and Spinal Tap. Like other Marshall products, the Marshall Stanmore 2 speaker maintains the classic aesthetic of the company’s well-known amps, which were used by guitar greats like Jimi Hendrix in the analog era and by the current crop of guitar heroes in the digital era. The Stanmore II has a vintage feel thanks to its wooden box, textured vinyl covering, and manual control knobs; however, these days, it can also be controlled by voice commands with Google Assistant and Bluetooth connectivity. Marshall’s Bluetooth app lets you use parametric EQ presets with more bands that just the treble/bass of the top-plate controls, and create your own. For the most part I’ve used the default “flat” mode, though.As I’ve mentioned, there are two ways to customise the audio. You can either use the knobs on the control panel, or you can use the Marshall Bluetooth smartphone app which is available for both iOS and Android. You get full control over the bass and treble. Admittedly, some options offer even more detailed control across a three or even a five band equaliser but if you’re not an audiophile then those two are sure to be enough.
