![]() We’ll do our GadgetGuy sound test as per usual, which starts with electronic music. ![]() It’s so nice to know that it’s not just a look, either, because in action, this is a speaker that shines, calling out for you to pump it up. Marshall’s Stanmore evokes rock and roll in such a way that even before you switch it on and see the red light glow from the power section, even before you feel the amp-inspired knobs and switch, even before you do all of that, it looks like business. This is a speaker that looks like music, that looks like rock and roll and soul, and while other speakers aim for simplicity with brushed or gun-metal surfaces, and others again look at the perfection that is polycarbonate, Marshall’s Stanmore looks like something a musician would use on stage, with a classic soft fabric grill, black vinyl around the edges, gold metal operation panel, and that original Marshall script logo that has been in use for so long, we’ve lost count. Love with a capital “L,” because it’s pure heritage and rock god style, letting you relive the emotion from when you turned up to your first real rock gig and had your ears blown out by the massive quad-box you for some reason parked yourself in front of, or the amplifier you always wanted to plug that electric bass or guitar into to jam and scream and wail with. That’s not compact, not by any stretch of the imagination, though it’s definitely compact compared to some of the other speaker boxes Marshall makes, and that’s what the Stanmore has been designed to look like. Rather, the Stanmore sits on the larger side of compact speaker world, appearing as a mid-sized speaker and weighing just over five kilograms, well over what most “compact” Bluetooth speakers come in at. Marshall calls the Stanmore a compact product, but in terms of compact Bluetooth speakers, we can already tell you that you’ve likely seen much smaller. No battery is found here, though, a change from other speakers, and you’ll need to keep the Stanmore plugged into the wall to use it. While only one sound device can be used at once, owners will have four ways of transmitting sound to the Marshall Stanmore speaker, with Bluetooth, 3.5mm stereo jack, RCA (red-white), or optical.Ī button for source will let you change sources quickly, one by one, with the other button - pair - helping you to initiate the Bluetooth pairing process with a phone, tablet, or laptop computer. This technology doesn’t come light, though, with the Stanmore tipping the scales at 5.1 kilograms. There’s a fabric cover for the grill, and the typical Marshall script logo, with the top of the speaker decked in brushed metal with knobs, buttons, and switches designed in the same vein, all of which looks like the Stanmore is a piece out of Marshall’s long musical history.īuilt in the same vein is one thing, but Marshall wants you to enjoy the sound, too, and has employed two 1.9cm dome tweeters and a 13cm subwoofer to make this happen, working with a Class D amplifier delivering 80 watts of power across these inclusions (40W sub, 20W tweeters). ![]() ![]() The design is pure Marshall amp, too, possibly 70s to 80s, with a vinyl covering around what appears to be a wooden box, similar to the speakers the company normally produces. ![]()
