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.

The front face of the Kilburn II is all metallic grille, emblazoned with the script M...
The Marshall Kilburn II speaker looks great, sounds very good, and has onboard EQ knobs, but ultimately feels priced a little too high.
Powerful audio output with rich lows and bright, clear highs; Handsome, amp-inspired design; Bass and treble knobs
Expensive; Lacks sub-bass; Water-resistance rating (IPX2) is about as low as it gets
