My first was the Stockwell. The impression was so good that made me buy the Stanmore. Awesome sound quality and classy design ! I have the Stanmore in my living room. Later bought both a Stanmore II and an Acton II playing together in the living room.

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

This speaker is super smart with Amazon Alexa built in, and while the bass is very powerful, mid frequencies feel a bit recessed.

Stunning design; Powerful bass; Alexa integration

Recessed mids; Treble can be harsh

The Marshall Stanmore II Voice can easily be mistaken for the head unit on an iconic Marshall stack, and its audio performance avidly matches that...

Overall sound quality is rich and full; App provides a five-band graphic EQ; Iconic Marshall look; Physical controls are way cool

Couldn't get Alexa or online streaming to work on my iPhone 6; Bluetooth pairing is flaky; Online customer support is subpar

Marshall recently updated its line of Bluetooth speakers, and at $349.99, the Stanmore II Bluetooth falls in the middle of its three new options in terms of size, price, and power. Fans of the iconic Marshall look won't be disappointed with the Stanmore II's aesthetics. Sonically, the speaker sounds very good, but compared with its more expensive sibling, the Woburn II Bluetooth, it's not as compelling. The Woburn II Bluetooth, which packs an extra woofer, isn't cheap, but lives up to its cost, while the Stanmore II Bluetooth—also not cheap—feels a bit overpriced for what you get. It's a solid speaker, but if you're willing to save some money and spring for the Woburn II, you won't be disappointed. Design Available in black or white, the handsome Stanmore II Bluetooth follows the same basic concept as the rest of Marshall's offerings: It looks like a miniature guitar amp. But at 7.7 by 13.8 by 7.3 inches (HWD) and 10.3 pounds, it makes for a fairly bulky speaker. If you like the r...

The Marshall Stanmore II Bluetooth speaker delivers strong audio, but its price feels a bit high for the overall experience it delivers.

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

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.

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.…

We like Marshall's Stanmore II Bluetooth, but it doesn't really stand out in a crowded sea of wireless speakers. The $399.99 Stanmore II Voice, however, has far less competition in the smart speaker realm. At $50 more than the Bluetooth-only model, the Stanmore II Voice adds your choice of support for Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant voice commands. Marshall also manages to improve the audio output—the Voice model doesn't distort on deep bass like the Bluetooth version sometimes does. That makes it a stronger value than the standard model, and one of the better high-end smart speakers you can buy. Design The general specs for the Stanmore II Voice are nearly the same as the Stanmore II Bluetooth, but there are some minor variations. It measures the same 7.7 by 13.8 by 7.3 inches (HWD), but weighs a slightly heavier 10.7 pounds. The front cloth grille and black leather-like enclosure are visually identical, but where the Bluetooth version has a power switch, the Voice model houses ...

Marshall's Stanmore II Voice smart speaker improves upon the already-solid audio of the Stanmore II Bluetooth while adding your choice of Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant voice control to the mix.

Powerful audio performance with rich bass depth and crisp highs; Handsome design; Mics pick voice up easily from long distances; Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant models available

Unattractive back panel; No audio cables included for inputs
