Marshall Kilburn II

The Marshall Kilburn II packs impressively powerful audio performance in its size. The price feels high, though: Ultimately, this is not what we expect a $300 speaker to sound like. There could be more sub-bass, for sure-the lows cut out before there's any semblance of subwoofer-like output.

Powerful audio output with rich lows and bright, clear highs; Handsome, amp-inspired design; Bass and treble knobs

Marshall Kilburn II Review

Marhsall offers no shortage of Bluetooth speakers, and at $299.99, the Kilburn II fits somewhere in between the Stockwell II and the Tufton in terms of both price and size. Even for a mid-size model, the Kilburn II is portable in the sense that you can carry it by its strap, but it's too heavy and bulky to, say, throw in a backpack. The good news is that it can deliver some serious power for its size, and adjustable bass and treble knobs allow you to alter its sound signature to suit your tastes. There's nothing glaringly wrong with the Marshall Kilburn II, but its price feels rather high for what it offers. Design The boxy Kilburn II is available in black or gray faux leather. It measures 6.5 by 9.6 by 5.5 inches (HWD) and weighs 5.5 pounds, so the removable strap is helpful for transporting it around. It also happens to look quite nice, like a classic guitar strap with a velvet-lined underside. The front face of the Kilburn II is all metallic grille, emblazoned with the script M...

Absolutely fabulous

Omg, what an amazing little speaker. The sound is amazing and being able to adjust the bass and treble only makes this more fantastic. It is a lovely size and the carry handle is a great added bonus. It is so quick and easy to connect and since I've had it i no longer use my other music system.

Portable and awesome

I'm using it all the time and everywhere. I finally don't have to wear headphones when I move around the house. I just simply take my magic box with me. I use it in bathroom, living room, kitchen, outside and in the car.

Good quality sound for a portable speaker.

We are definitely enjoying this speaker. The sound is excellent; and I can easily carry it from room to room.
