Marshall Home Generation III Hits The Stage
Marshall's Gen 3 Acton, Stanmore, and Woburn Bluetooth speakers are ready to rock!
Marshall's new generation of Acton, Stanmore and Woburn come with tweeters angled outwards and updated waveguides to deliver a consistently solid sound so wide it chases you around the room, says the company. The iconic amplification brand invites you to "experience a balanced sound, with crisp, soaring treble and controlled, rumbling bass."
This generation of the home line-up promises an even wider soundstage than before, delivering the Marshall signature sound now re-engineered for a more immersive experience. In addition, the all-new Placement Compensation feature corrects for any nearby reflective surfaces that may affect the sound and built-in Dynamic Loudness adjusts the tonal balance, ensuring your music sounds brilliant at every volume.
You'll find everything you need on the unit, including the Bluetooth pairing button, power switch, bass and treble controls and the control knob so you can easily control your music without picking up your device.
Marshall has taken its signature rock' n' roll home speaker line-up and given it a stripped-back look. Signature details such as the Marshall script and brass control knobs are featured, echoing the legacy of rock' n' roll, and different finishes mean you can choose the one that fits you.
All are powered by multiple Class D amps powering tweeters and woofers (and mids in the Woburn III) separately. Acton III and Stanmore III claim a 45–20,000 Hz frequency range, whereas the larger Woburn III reaches 35–20,000 Hz.
This new generation takes a more sustainable approach with a PVC-free build that comprises 70% recycled plastic and only vegan materials.
With next-generation Bluetooth 5.2 and the 3.5 mm input, connecting to your speaker and listening to your music has never been so effortless. Download and connect to the Marshall Bluetooth app to access advanced settings and Over-the-Air (OTA) updates, ensuring that these speakers are always up-to-date with the latest software and features.
Additionally, Woburn III comes with an HDMI input, which allows you to connect to your TV and utilise the Night Mode feature.
The Acton III, Stanmore III and Woburn III will retail for US$279, US$379, and US$579, respectively. The three speakers are available to pre-order now and will be available to buy from June 23rd.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
