Marshall - Stockwell II

Just what I was looking for. I have a vintage Tivoli audio BT that I'm retaining purely for aesthetic purposes. Many years later came the JBL Authentic 300. Was too loud and bold for my taste and had to end up selling that. My current study room speaker is a Stockwell 2, and while the output is nothing to brag about, I absolutely love how it sounds. Have been looking at the Bose Max and Kilburn 3 and can't decide between the two. The Bose is down to $300 as part of the festive deals here in India. Like someone said, too many options is ...

I would advise against the Marshalls. I have the Stockwell 2, Middleton, and Willen. The Willen is the only one that has a stable connection. The other two cut out so badly that it makes it impossible to finish a track.

Marshall stokwell 2 does

I use the Marshall Stockwell 2, Works pretty well. I play with headphpones most of the time though.

there are a bunch of bluetooth speakers with aux in that might be ok, but you need to make sure you try them because their aux in port may have latency due to processing. i have an anker wakey speaker which sounds good, but the latency is terrible i use a marshall stockwell 2 because we have one around, the latency is fine, and it actually has stereo output, but there's gotta be cheaper ones out there

I have been really enjoying Marshall Stockwell II and Ikea Vappeby Gen 3 speaker lately. Both are super well tuned speakers, excellent battery life, negligible imperceptible lag and well rounded sound profile. You should check’em out. Ikea has 6 month return policy and Marshall has 30 day return policy

I would strongly recommend the Marshall Stockwell 2. It's an amazing speaker for home listening at low volume. 

- Stockwell II is far more portable (you can take it with you in a small backpack). Kilburn may fit in a suitcase, but even then I would think twice before taking it with me on a trip - Stockwell II has more accurate tuning: Marshall speakers fire from the front and from the rear, and apply some digital sound processing to the left and right channels to give a 360° perception of sound. Stockwell II does this better than Kilburn, see: Stockwell II: https://youtu.be/2RYtK6iuU2Y Kilburn II: https://youtu.be/g8W2nkZVVFU - AUX is useful when you want to connect a sound source that doesn't have a speaker, or it has a lousy speaker. Examples: -- Small FM / DAB radio (which usually has a tiny low quality speaker), to listen to a radio show through the Stockwell II. -- A portable MP3 player Finally, Stockwell II thanks to its sound processing and front/rear firing speakers, can be closer to the original song compared to other speakers that are mono. See here (at 16:40): https://youtu.be/2RYtK6iuU2Y&t=16m37s I don't own the Kilburn II, so I don't know how/if it also does this. I want to take the speaker with me when I travel, and also move it easily around the house. I do this with Stockwell II easily. So, in my case, I went with Stockwell II. If I just wanted a speaker that would always stay in the house, Kilburn II would also be an option.

I just picked up a Marshall Stockwell 2, they're on sale (at least in the US) for under $150 and have pretty full and clear sound, with relatively low latency for videos. You can also adjust the bass and treble if they're too much. Also it just looks great which you mentioned was important

Denon envaya 150/200/250, Sony srs x55, x77, Harman Kardon Onyx 3,4, Xiaomi Sound Move, Créative Sound Blaster Road 2, Marshall Stockwell, Marshall Emberton 2, Harman Kardon Go + play (the one from 2016), Riva S, Riva Festival, Bose SoundLink Max, Bogasing S8 Pro Max, soundcore x600, Doss soundbox XL, Jambox, Sony srs xb33. I made "widest immersive stéréo imaging soundstage" one of my first point when i buy a speaker, and i like to try the most possible. they have all différents sizes, from différents years ,but all of them have insane soundstage with great stéréo separation for the size. Seems that older bluetooths speakers was better on point than recents ones (except for somes).

its way too expensive for what it is i do not recommend it. it sounds amazing in lower volumes and goes very deep but when you turn it up the magic goes away my clip 5 sounds louder. Even the smaller willen 2 sounds louder

They are the worst speakers for their price . At least in my country (but they look amazing and sound fine) i do recommend it if you dont care about the loudness (they sound amazing in lower volumes)

Too expensive for what it is imo
