The Marshall Stanmore II Bluetooth sounds very strong across every genre. Unfortunately, on some tracks with serious sub-bass in the mix, the drivers distort at top volumes, though this isn't an issue unless you like to listen at volumes that are seriously dangerous for your hearing.

Solid audio performance with rich bass depth and crisp highs; In-App EQ; Bass and Treble knobs for fine-tuning audio; Attractive overall design

Slightly overpriced; Can distort at top volumes; Unsightly back panel; No audio cables included for inputs

The Marshall Stanmore II Voice speaker sounds terrific and incorporates Marshall's iconic guitar amp styling. With its multiple amplifiers and three speakers, it expresses itself with a loud, assured voice.

If you just care about the sound, get this. It sounds awesome. I mean, how such a (relatively) small speaker can deliver this quality of sound, I have no idea. It looks great, it sounds awesome and it's portable and easy to move around...so whats there to dislike

The Marshall Stanmore II has the volume levels to match its rock n' roll looks, but don't think it's all about the decibels, it's a surprisingly musical speaker with an elegance you don't expect.

Masses of volume; Musical; bassy; yet still controlled sound; Amazon Alexa integration is well executed and useful; Classy; decor-neutral design

Expensive; Alexa app is unreliable

You are no longer stuck with a few Google-branded speaker options if you want to invite Assistant into your home. There are speakers from JBL, Sony, and many others-including Marshall.

Audio Powerful, crisp sound with above average bass for a smart speaker; Manual adjustments with knobs, Design Looks like a Marshall amp, and the adjustment knobs on the top are fantastic, Input Supports WiFi, Bluetooth, aux, and RCA

Audio again The audio is good, but not as good as the Home Max, Design again The back of the speaker is pretty ugly, Price $400 is a lot to pay for a smart speaker, no matter how good it looks; The Home Max is also the same price

So I have to admit that I've always wanted a Marshall JCM800 with a nice 1960AV Half Stack under it. I've just never been able to buy one. So when the company reached out to ask if I'd like to take the Marshall Stanmore II Bluetooth speaker for a spin.

Marshall's upgraded mid-range speaker is a powerhouse of sound tailored to those who love the feeling of being at a concert and seeing the giant iconic amps littering the stage.

Marshall has been continuing to expand its line of speakers, last year introducing its first multi-room system, and more recently an updated version of its portable speaker, the Kilburn II, but it has also returned to its roots with an updated lineup of its three original Bluetooth speakers.…

This speaker is phenomenal!! It has crisp highs and good bass. I really love that it has separate bass, treble, and volume knobs. It sounds incredible; from classic rock to r&b, even to classical music. This speaker delivers life-like sound! I am very pleased with this speaker!!

Separate volume; bass; and treble Long distance Bluetooth connection

None that I have found yet

Sounds and looks great, easy to set up, I'm not usually very good at things like this but even I found it easy, never had anything with Alexa on but got it working straight away. Works well with my iPhone and husbands android phones, connected easily to my turntable.
