Marshall Acton Bluetooth Speaker Review

If you're looking for a high-end Bluetooth speaker to use with your smartphone or tablet, the Marshall Acton is about the fanciest it gets for a Bluetooth speaker option.

In the end, though, Marshall Acton speaker is seriously really cool, and it looks just as good as it sounds. I actually admire the design of it more than the audio quality. That’s not a dig on how bad it sounds (it doesn’t sound bad at all), but merely...

Marshall Acton multi-room speaker review

A cute speaker with some reliability issues

Music has depth and detail ; AirPlay, ChromeCast & Spotify Connect ; Simple multi-room music ; Retro styling

Very expensive ; Frequent drop-outs ; No portability options ; Google Home too tightly integrated

ChromeCast, AirPlay and Google Home are baked into this vintage-styled and thoroughly solid-sounding wireless, Bluetooth and multi-room-capable speaker, but its frequent drop-outs disappoint.

Huge Sound

Like reviewer Michael, I too use this little beast in a NYC apt. I finally unloaded my Harmon-Kardon/Sony spacers stereo and needed some volume. My Go-to audiosnax bluetooth wasn't up to the job.I was initially made aware of the Marshall line by a...

Oh yeah, THE BEST

This is the best, BEST, bluetooth speaker out there. Seriously. It sounds like a whole sound system (equivalent to a really good stereo setup from the 80s, for example). Good, good sound. Quality build. Really high quality, tactile analog controls to...
