Marshall Action II: Is it worth it?

8 / 10

As a new owner of a Marshall Action II, I can only say i’m shocked (in good way). I have owned many other speakers from various companies listing from Bose, Sony, JBL and many more. Overall I was presently supprised with the purchase. I was lucky enough to pay 899Zloty (Around £160) for my speaker where as in the UK I would have had to spend £240. Although this speaker isn’t portable, it’s definitely a good investment compared to other other speakers I own with a cheap finish.

Pros

  • Retro Style
  • Volume, Bass & Treble adjust nobs
  • High quality finnish
  • Very good quality and very firm (no cheap materials)
  • LEDs built into nobs for easy adjustments made in dark
  • Free app with many more features (eg equaliser)

Cons

  • Not portable
  • Always needs to get connected to socket
