The Kilburn II offers multi-directional sound which the Acton II doesn't, the Acton II only has forward facing speakers. Regardless of my foibles, once I changed the EQ, my experience with Acton II was completely refreshed - the audio was great and I thoroughly enjoyed the duration of my testing. Whether I was taking a cheesy disco turn with “Ma Baker” from Boney M and relaxing to hip-hop infused jazz with BADBADNOTGOOD, or getting worked up with Bad Religion, the Acton II was set of delivering the goods. I just wish it wasn’t quite so fiddly to get there, hiding its powers behind custom EQ settings. Le + : conception sans PVC qui comprend 70 % de plastique recyclé ainsi que des matériaux 100 % vegan. It tells us that there will be a significant difference in loudness between the Acton II and Stanmore II.

Pam: There is an auxiliary connection, but not RCA. You would need to confirm what connection options your TV offers, to know for sure.

It's just as large as the Acton II. One of the most iconic audio brands ever, Marshall’s success all really started with their amplifiers, which have been a top choice for musicians the world over for decades.On top of the speaker there are control knobs for volume, bass and treble – all of which light up indicator bars to show what level they’re at. These are flanked by chunky metal buttons to play and pause, or switch between Bluetooth and auxiliary line-in. On the far end of that top bar you’ll find the power switch and the 3.5mm aux port. Granted, some people will want a lot more in the way of features for this price, but I personally didn’t mind because it means Marshall has put every effort into make this speaker sound as good as it possibly can instead of delivering a long list of unnecessary extras.

The 30W Class D amplifier for the woofer is what helps this little speaker stand out even when compared with larger units – it’s got plenty of power and bass. Pam: Hello, thanks for writing in.I am not sure - RCA is a wired input, usually used with TVs and turntables. Which means that the difference between 101 vs 98 dB is MUCH more than the difference between, say, 83 vs 80 dB. The mains power uses a standard-length cable, so don’t expect to stretch this too far above table height. This isn’t a battery powered speaker – but at 2.85kg you probably wouldn’t want to lug this around as a portable speaker anyway. Also, if you opt for the white leather-style outer layer, it’s unlikely to last long outside the protection of the home.

There are plenty of positives: the Acton II Voice unsurprisingly offers a large sound for its size, and the bass response is rather impressive. We wouldn’t tamper too much with the EQ settings – dialling in any further low end could tip the balance overboard – but out of the box, that woofer, alongside the speaker’s rear-firing reflex port, works hard for its money. Besides the three analog controls, there are only two buttons: One for source selection, one for play/pause. In addition, there is a classic toggle switch for on/off, but it had a bit too much play for us, and an AUX input.

There’s a lot to like about the build and design of Marshall’s wireless speakers, but don’t buy the Acton II Voice expecting anything more than an average sonic performance. Realme stands apart for a few reasons, even though there are many companies selling good devices in the inexpensive true wireless market today. When it comes to value proposition, the brand continuously pushes the limit by providing reasonably priced items with features and specifications that you wouldn’t often expect to see in the budget market.

L'enceinte Marshall Acton II comprend une connexion sans fil Bluetooth 5.0, sans perte de qualité, avec une portée de 10 m. I do find it a little strange that I first judge a speaker by its weight. Considering that its entire purpose is pleasing the ears, it's the muscles in your hands and arms that provide you with a hint of what’s to come. A better-sized speaker for general use than its pricier sibling the Marshall Stanmore, the great-sounding, incredibly well-connected – and very expensive – Marshall Acton is ultimately let down by its unreliability as a wireless speaker. It's a nice try, but this is arguably style over substance.

As long as these speakers are placed at the corner or to the wall, Acton II will be significantly louder and powerful than the Kilburn II. Both the speakers are great in their own way so the decision is yours as to which one to select upon your preference. The Marshall Stanmore is twice the size of the Marshall Acton 2 so it is best for indoors while the Acton 2 is preferred for both indoor and outdoor. There is quite a difference in their sound as the Marshall Acton 2 gives out more distortion at lower loudness levels than the Stanmore 2. There is also a huge difference in their price, the Marshall Stanmore 2 is more expensive than the Marshall Acton 2. If you want an even more powerful home speaker, then take a look at the Marshall Stanmore III instead. You get the same sort of design but in a much bulkier speaker, which also means it’s much more powerful, although naturally there’s a higher price tag to match.

Fortunately, now we have the Spinorama data for a bunch of quite popular speakers. Pierre Aubert put all this untidy data together and put it into https://www.spinorama.org/. This is a stunning source. Pretty valuable stuff from him right there. Because, other parameters such as the age/materials of the building, furniture/windows in place also have an impact on room acoustics.

In the end, this becomes an advantage for Kilburn II in terms of scoring higher with the decibel metric. Size of Acton II is small. To the point that at first sight, it was almost going to make the experts I was talking to think that it's a portable speaker. Even if RCA wasn't another deal on the table when deciding between Acton and Stanmore, I'd still get the Stanmore...
