    I heard this on display at a Best Buy and walked over to buy the Acton III. But for some reason, I remembered of a Marshall Speaker with Straps and picked up the Kilburn II. Once I turned it on, I hated it. I ended up returning the Kilburn II and bought the Acton III which I originally wanted. This is my first Marshall speaker besides the Motif II A.N.C earphones. Totally worth the money and never regretting it.

    I bought an Acton III after checking your review and I couldn't be more happy with the purchase. I was initially eyeing a Stanmore iii but for my small studio it felt like an overkill. Acton fills up the place nicely around mid volumes and when I listened to stanmore and Acton at the store I couldn't hear a noticeable difference in the sound quality. I also tested Woburn III and it was a totally different beast. Would love to get it someday. Thanks for the quality reviews. Really appreciate it.

    Sound quality and the tone are the most important things to me. I am looking to buy a speaker set for the home, but one that is not too large. So, not any of the Woburns, and the Tufton is too expensive for me. I am weighing up the prices and availability, and the sound quality between the Acton 3 and the JBL boombox 2, which has bluetooth 5.2 and is water resistant, and also has stereo, but isn't as rich in sound as the Marshalls. So far the JBL is way more available to me. .This is the review that got me interested in the Acton 3. Without this review I would never have considered any of the Marshall speakers. You have opened up another door, thanks for posting this excellent and honest, also straight forward review. Super helpful. Thanks

    Personally sounded like the Acton 3 was better in project and wider soundstage. The Klipsch while I love the looks was a bit more hollow or quieter in loudness. The original Acton was good but not nearly as loud, that being said I would be content owning any single one of them but the Acton 3 would be my choice if I had disposable income

    I love the way this speaker looks, but kind of hate the idea of having home speakers. I personally prefer portable speakers, but that's just a pet peeve of mine. I also completely agree on your opinion that the Acton 3 sounds the best out of all of them. It would most definitely make for an amazing part of a home speaker setup. Love the video and I hope to see some more speaker reviews in the near future, have a nice day, Danny!!

Hey you mentioned lossless and I think it would be great if you did a video on sound differences between bluetooth and wired methods. perhaps even introduce a digital to analog converter in the review to see how hi-fi lossless sounds with these speakers. Keep up the good work with these videos.👍

    Just received the Acton III and......I so do not like the clearly visible seam, where the material is joined together. Makes it look tacky. Also it will come undone overtime.
    First I thought it was a defect of some sort, but I now have discovered they all have it. Surely Marshall could have thought of a solid way to cover the speaker in that price range.

    @christiand.7930 Год назад +3

    Hi, your videos are really well made and I appreciate that you compare the new products to the original lineup.
    In this video the waveform of the acton III looks pretty compressed and less dynamic than the original acton but your hearing impressions are pretty similar. How is that? Im thinking about buying the acton III but am also considering the original acton or stanmore. Main Use Cases would be vinyl via aux and bluetooth streaming.
    What would you suggest?

    • @DannyPops
      @DannyPops  Год назад +3

      The waveforms here aren't super high definition samples so compression would be hard to tell here. They are both running an SBC (mp3 quality) music file over bluetooth so the bit rate is the same. If you can get the original acton, it's just as good sounding at the 3. It's the 2 I recommend avoiding for muddy sound.

    Hey, Danny! Your review is amazing as always, thanks! I heard the sound of Emberton 2 and I loved it! I just want to get something bigger and more mature with the same amazing sound. Does Acton 3 have that deep, pleasant bass and realistic vocals? And one more question is it fine if I put Acton 3 next to me, like 3 feet. I'm not fond of loud music so I prefer quality over loudness. I mean, does it also sound good at low volume? Or maybe there's a better alternative for me?

    • @DannyPops
      @DannyPops  4 месяца назад

      At a certain point there are a lot of speakers that would be good for you. The Acton 3 to me has a wonderful sound, and far exceeds the emberton’s ability. Yeah if you are sticking with Marshall then the Acton III or Stanmore III (both the same for close low volume listening) are more than most need. You’ll like the vocals on it.

    I am seriously considering getting Acton to replace one of my Sony XB31. What I have right now I am quite satisfy with the sound quality and sound volume. It just that one of my speaker Sony XB31 keep on turning itself off. I am not sure if it is a feature function or sometjing went wrong with the battery causing it to shut down. Oh forget to tell you the line up. I got 3 JBL(2 of them is Flip, and one Extreme 3). Then I also get a set of Sony, 2 of them is XB22, and one XB31. With alll these works together, I am very satisfy with sound quality. But now, I just annoy a bit when XB31 keep turning itself off. So I am now eyeing this Acton.
    I have a question for this Acton(it may sound like a stupid question, but it is important part for my considering of buying it). The question is, will this Acton turn itsef off? Also, what kind of watts power it consume? I had extra air-con in my room which take away a lot of watts power from my elextrical outlet. I have to operating all other electrical equiptment to prevent the power overdraw that would lead to my circuit breaker to cut off power(it happen every now and then when I forget about the issue), then I have to go outside to switch the circuit back on, kinda annoying sometime. Thus, I am more mindful of the power require to use any electronic equiptment i buy. So, this second question, what kind of juice it will take while operating?
    I would be very grateful if you could help me with these two seemingly stupid question. Thank you.
    Oh I forget to mention. All these 6 speakers I use it as a home speaker, meaning I permanently plug in power on all of the speakers. Also, I do not use Bluetooth function on any of the speakers. I found using bluetooth it seomhow drain memory from my TV causing memory overloaded and TV re-start and so on. Particularly when use speaker sharing functions, memory driain pretty bad, I can hardly watch TV smoothly. I fix this by using "AUX" audio line split it to every speakers, and it work out very well, my TV hardly restart due to memory issues.

    Fun Fact: The power switch is fake. It doesn't actually switch off the power. This speaker continues consuming power when the switch is "off". Pathetic design. You'd think a physical power switch would cut the circuit, but no. The speaker is put in a sleep mode for unknown reasons since you can't actually do anything with the speaker in this mode. The speaker must be switched off at the wall if you want it to stop consuming energy.
