Besides full volume, does Kilburn II also provide more sound quality compared to Acton II Bluetooth? Canberk: But I guess what you're saying is that some devices out there might only offer RCA connection and not an AUX connection? The Marshall Stanmore 2 can also be used with two options for connectivity. It also has a Bluetooth version 5.0 and aptX technology that gives a wireless sound range of upto 30 feets(10 metres). The connectivity is the same for both the speakers.

Setting it up couldn't be simpler, you just need to plug it in and connect your phone to it through your Bluetooth settings. You can also connect to the speaker using a 3.5mm audio cable although you will need to buy your own because there isn't one included in the box. This is a problem because it means that Spinorama alone, unfortunately, won't give us all we need. Placement and reflections play an equally important role there too. For regular sized apartment flat rooms up to, say, 160 square feet (15 square meters), would Acton II Bluetooth volume be sufficient?Pam: There is an auxiliary connection, but not RCA. You would need to confirm what connection options your TV offers, to know for sure.

Before you buy go ahead and pull the trigger on one of these speakers, I'd recommend you to consider durability as well. I like how the guitar strap of Kilburn II goes with its (or the entire line-up of Marshall speakers) retro vibe. It's pleasant to carry around, but definitely nowhere near being small. At this point, I thought that if there was a tool that combined both the Spinorama with the room acoustics data, it'd be extremely useful.

The Kilburn II offers multi-directional sound which the Acton II doesn't, the Acton II only has forward facing speakers. In the free app, you can choose between EQ presets (but you already have bass and treble knobs on the speaker itself), change the intensity of the LEDs, put the speaker in standby mode, or control your music. Performance Also, through using the app, the unit can be linked to another Marshall Bluetooth speaker to make a stereo pair. This is useful in case you need to add even more power – or if you want to use them as a 2.1 surround sound system for your phone’s movies.

The Acton II Bluetooth offers different features: if you get a 2nd II Bluetooth speaker you can use them both in pairs. Here is a link to the manual for the Kilburn II, https://support.marshallheadphones.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000356678-User-Manual-Kilburn-II The colormap provides you the locations with the best (green) and worst (red) listening experience. Here is a link for the Acton II Bluetooth manual, https://support.marshallheadphones.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000459618-User-Manual-Acton-II-BluetoothRegardless 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.
