hey everyone this is Jimmy with James review room welcome to another review now after several followers or subscribers mentioned the Marshall stand more I looked up some photos and read about Marshalls history and I had to get one this is the most expensive Bluetooth speaker that I've reviewed so far and I purchased this for 399 dollars here the states and it comes in both black which I have here and also cream now what you receive the box itself is a three and a half to three and half millimeter audio cable to power cords one for the states the other one here is to use over in Europe and lastly is a user manual that's very detailed if you ever need it so without further ado we'll get started listen closely now Marshall is known for making apps and cabinets more specifically for guitar players in the genre of rock and roll now it's actually one of the most recognized names in guitar amps and Marshalls been around for about 50 years now and visiting their websites there's tons of endorsements from bands and their guitar players sticking with the Marshall brand over the years and even decades now with the stand mark it sticks to that classic look and I'll admit it's beautiful in my opinion everything is very well built with its black leather and iconic gold knobs and switch now the front has that same acoustic fret as the amps and keeping that classic look from the 60s and this thing is not small either it measures 13 and 3/4 inches wide 7 1/2 inches tall and a little over 7 inches deep and although it's bluetooth isn't that meant to be portable like the other reviews I've done is a past the controls on top start with a three-and-a-half millimeter input for your devices where the red lights indicating your source of audio and we'll go over that shortly and with a stand more you can adjust your value bass and treble levels with these very smooth and quality finish knobs and a source button to select which device you have connected to and the pairing button for wireless bluetooth connectivity and lastly far right here is this large yet very premium feeling on and off switch now rotating the rear shows the base port for the speakers along with physical inputs such as digital optical audio that uses light to transmit in near if not lossless audio signal then you have your traditional RCA cables so altogether the stammer connects in four ways bluetooth 3 half millimeter cable optical and RCA and lastly is power saver and standard modes European Union regulations requires electronics to consume less than 0.5 watts of power when on standby hence the switch but living it on standard will leave the stammer connected to your Bluetooth device after the 20 minute limit when inactive so everything physically is very well built but how does it sound though I'll run through several samples and give you my verdict afterwards you you let me get a good look at you so flag fits it's so sick can you get me like a heaven yeah cuz I got it like yeah flow so smooth like I got it on tap yeah and I'm a shake it be a good night while I'm on my gangland while I'm drinking Bud Light can you get it when you miss me like I'm wit whiskey drinking Jim Beam me baby do you do it do it that way do you do that did you take a brain you know that I'm a beast when I kill it on the piece like a six on the beach like it's not lagoon Tish you see the California way we do it yeah baby she could Californication and there you have it folks now sound of course is best heard in person and when playing through your speakers it's not the best depiction of audio quality the hens my review here the Stanmore is more of a lifestyle product from Marshall which I believe aims more towards the general public but playing rock music to stick to its traditions the stand more to me is the clearest sound any Bluetooth speaker that I've heard so far it's really impressive again coming from reviewing predominantly Bluetooth speakers now starting off slow and light listening to the beginning of under the bridge and Weezer's say it in so the highs of the guitar and snare introductions right off the bat are crisp and accurate now moving to a song that involve more layers was earth when in fire September where the highs are very pronounced and very accurate as well the Stanmore does a good job in distinguishing instruments as they all have their own distinct sound and with some lower quality speakers the clarity can sound jumbled together mid levels are good as well as that's where most vocal notes reside in although I like bass I do prefer clarity and it's more butter regards to base though the Stanmore I believe hits it almost perfectly not hundred percent but almost it may need a bit more the sub base category for warmer tonalities I believe but overall it's a really good balance in general now listening to something more modern the sweetest love from Robin Thicke let's say was very well done overall and if I ain't got you from Alicia Keys her voice is still really immersive hi infidelity in my opinion the only John was that I really didn't feel as immersive you can say was house and techno again it's great that I've noticed in mid that heís doing well but again with house and techno when the beat drops in say Armand Van Buren's mix around that three-minute mark I wasn't feeling it and the rhythmic beat through the song didn't really had me saying bouncing and nodding my head even silently nodding it in my mind now the same lack of immersion was found in the rap genre as well and although Marshall does graciously provided just both settings with the NAB's on top the NAB's I've noticed are subtle and conservative in adjusting how things sound but to wrap things up playing this on maximum volume with going back to a 50% bass and treble levels did provide a mostly distortion free experience and when at maximum this speaker does get very loud enough to fill a large room or space with no problems testing the range it was as good as the other Bluetooth speakers bring my iPad downstairs on the other side of the house and going through several walls and the first floor ceiling as well posed no issues and as a side note most Bluetooth speakers does have a built-in battery but the Stanmore is designed to stay stationary and does not have a battery pack it has to remain plugged into the wall but overall is it worth the $400 premium for a Bluetooth speaker I say yes the fit and finish loudness and quality is all great and if you're into this design it's a home run for you the Bose Soundlink 3 is a premium speaker and my personal favorite but for $100 more the sound is even that much more louder with the stand mark up several notches that is you can say now if you don't need portability this speaker I believe is worth it so hope this review helped you in some way please take your time to like and share this video and be sure to find me on Facebook and Google Plus this is
