Marshall Stanmore III Bluetooth Home Speaker - Loud Stereo Sound with Bass and Treble Controls Plug-in Powered Record

I have a decent collection of Hi Fi gear, from vintage Yamaha, NAD, and Klipsch, to Primare and Definitive Technology. It can get a little complicated when you just want to "turn it on and listen to background music." My wife needed something simple to satisfy that requirement. And this unit does it in spades! Connectivity with this unit is a non-issue: turn it on, pair it with your device, and play--you do not need an app to get it up and running. The controls could not be more simple: there are six in all, but the volume, and maybe the bass and treble are all you will really need. And now there is the quality, WOW! The look and feel of quality on this unit is beyond ANYTHING that I have spent a mere $300.00 on! And that quality extends into the sound. Sound is so subjective that I am not even going to try to describe it, except to say that it is BIG, CLEAR, and DETAILED. I have never heard anything like this at this price point. We have a small house (1300sqft), and this thing fills it well. My wife loves it! Just a point that I must mention, but that in absolutely no-way reflects on the quality and value of this unit: they (Marshall) claims that this unit produces a wider sound stage than its predecessor. And while it might do just that, I have never heard the previous model for comparison. While I can state from first-hand experience that the sound is HUGE, especially when one considers its size, I cannot say that a full stereo sound-stage has been achieved. With that said, this unit is PERFECT for anyone who wants incredibly simple ease-of-use, HUGE sound, beautiful retro looks with all the modern tech you need--and that won't break the bank--well, this is it.

The sound quality on this speaker is excellent. The audio is clear, well-balanced, and has strong presence that fills the room nicely. I also really like the design—it looks clean, classic, and fits well with my home setup. The performance has been very consistent, and the sound carries well without distortion at normal listening levels. It does require charging to use, which is expected for this type of speaker, and the overall experience has been very positive so far. Overall, it has been a great addition and I’m very satisfied with the quality and performance. Read more

I’ve always been a wired speaker fan since I was a kid but had to jump on the Bluetooth bandwagon out of necessity and convenience. I had a Sonos Play for my main house speaker which was pretty good and I really like the JBL flip series and boom box for portability and battery life and outdoor speakers. I received a Marshall Acton III as a service award gift at work and was blown away by the warmth of the sound from compressed streaming music sources. I just bought the Stanmore III as a Christmas gift to me from me and I’m even happier with it than the Acton. All the superlatives describing this unit are accurate and deserved. The sound quality is first class, the style is timeless, it’s east to use and pairs with Bluetooth with no issues. The AUX input is an added bonus to plug in my CD player. Read more

The sound of the this speaker is amazing crisp. The bass is just the right amount. The box is made out of quality material and carries the classic signature of Marshall craftsmanship and look. The only complaint I have is the seam on the vegan leather in front of the edge of the box. Read more
