The Marshall company has been producing all kinds of musical equipment for very long years. The products of this brand can always be seen on stage during any concert. The market presents not only large equipment for musicians, but also a simpler one, designed for the ordinary consumer (headphones, speakers, portable speakers). It is about the Marshal speakers and portable speakers that we will cover in detail in today's review.
Description
So, we will immediately discuss three devices of the company, and of absolutely different types. We will consider them in detail, get acquainted with the sound quality and make a small comparison among ourselves. Let's start with the Marshall wireless speaker, then move on to the usual home acoustics and complete the review of the concert model, so to speak.
Marshall stockwell
The first model to be discussed is the Marshall Stockwell wireless speaker. In the line of speakers, it belongs to the class of portable devices, which allows you to take it with you on the road, to work or walk, and enjoy your favorite music. Despite the fact that the column has slightly larger dimensions than similar devices from competitors, it can be safely called compact. She will not take up much space in the backpack.
Contents of delivery
Options Marshall Stockwell is quite simple. The device comes in a cardboard box, which shows the model itself and indicates all the main features and characteristics. Inside, in addition to the column, the user will find a charger, an adapter for a Euro outlet and an instruction booklet.
Appearance
The design of the Marshall Stockwell column is gorgeous. The corporate identity of the company is immediately traced - retro design. The speaker is even somewhat reminiscent of a miniature guitar combo, especially in the location of the controls.
The materials here are used very high quality. The side faces of the column are made of plastic, which is made for genuine leather. The back wall is genuine leather, which cannot but rejoice. The front mesh is not made of fabric, as it may seem, but of metal.
Sound
There are no complaints about the sound quality. The speaker copes with any music without any problems, from classical to hard rock. Of course, it happens that on some compositions the high frequencies take over, but thanks to the bass and timbre controls, this problem quickly disappears.
Reviews and price
Among all the reviews about the column, there are several main disadvantages: poor logo coloring on the front and its loose fit, lack of a case and a little braking connection on the bluetooth “Android” smartphone. As for the price, you can buy Marshall Stockwell for about 12-18 thousand rubles.
Marshall kilburn
The portable column "Marshall Kilburn" (Marshall Kilburn) - the second model of today's review. The official site is located in the class of conventional speakers, rather than portable ones, but, nevertheless, you can take it with you and listen to music anywhere and anytime. The only thing in the hands of carrying a column is not very convenient, because it weighs exactly 3 kg. The equipment, by the way, in the column is not very different from the previous model, so there is no point in talking about it.
Appearance
Externally, the column "Marshal Kilburn" is made all on the same principle - classic and retro, for which the manufacturer is loved by fans. A leather strap for carrying the device immediately catches your eye, which only complements it. Case materials - very high quality plastic with a texture for genuine leather. Tactile, you might even think that here is the truth in the skin, but no.
At the back of the speaker there is a bass reflex output and a connector for a network cable. From above traditionally located bass, volume and tone controls, as well as other controls. The front is made of wicker wood, and behind it are two speakers.
Sound
The sound quality is just great. The speaker does very well with any music and very accurately reproduces the entire frequency range. Adjustment of individual parameters may be required only in some cases, otherwise, you may not even have to resort to it.
Reviews and price
As the reviews show, the column has practically no disadvantages with the exception of the high cost and weight of 3 kg. Users note that a column is best placed at home than carried somewhere with you. If we talk about the price, then Marshall Kilburn costs around 15 - 18 thousand rubles, which is also a lot.
If you compare this model with the previous one, it is much better in sound quality, however, “Stockwell” still has the main advantage in mobility and small size.
Marshall woburn
Well, the last model that I want to talk about is almost a concert column "Marshall" (Marshall) - Woburn ("Woburn"). Just note that the device works only from the network, and its weight is no less than 8 kg.
The appearance of the column
There is nothing much to say about the equipment, it is absolutely the same as the previous model. The design and appearance of the column "Marshal Woboern" is also made in the classical style. The materials that are used here are high-quality vinyl made under the skin. Otherwise, there are practically no changes. Elements are located absolutely the same as in the previous column. In this model, the rear panel houses a rich arsenal of connectors for all occasions.
In any case, the speaker design is gorgeous. It will fit into any interior without any problems, be it classic, minimalism, Scandinavian style, modern or hi-tech.
Characteristics and Sound
Among the characteristics, it is worth noting the presence of two low-frequency and two high-frequency speakers of 50 W and 20 W, respectively. The total power is 140 watts, however, the speaker can easily withstand loads up to 200 watts, which will provide music not only your apartment, but the entire high-rise building.
The sound quality is amazing. Woburn produces a very warm and rich sound. The frequencies are played out completely, and any adjustment is rarely needed. The genre and style of music also do not matter - the column reproduces absolutely everything and does it the way it should sound.
Reviews and cost
Of the main shortcomings of the Marshall speakers (speakers) , users note in the reviews unstable bluetooth connections, the lack of a battery for portable listening and the high price, but it is fully justified. By the way, the Marshall Woburn column costs around 30 thousand rubles, but this is exactly the price that it deserves.
It is pointless to compare this model with the previous ones, because the columns are simply from a different class and are designed for different purposes.
