Boom 2
Loud, bassy beast; needs EQ, no aux.

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.
