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.

I feel the sound quality is outstanding. It is well built and has the look and feel of quality.

Rock 'n' roll looks ; Great app interface ; Great detail (sound) ; Snappy bass notes;

That aesthetic might not be for everyone ;

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.

Proof that smart speakers don't have to blend into the background, Marshall's £350 Stanmore II Voice is big, brash and bound to be noticed – especially when you crank up the volume dial. Its styling might be "old-skool", but what's inside is anything but.

Big; meaty sound; Excellent bass performance; Great build quality; Iconic design; Decent connectivity

App is a bit basic; Doesn't support AirPlay

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

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.
