Q: What is the difference in the Kilburn one, Kilburn two

A: I didn't own the first version, but an online review stated these improvements in model 2: "New Bluetooth, upgraded battery life with quick charge option and IPX2 rating to protect the speaker from the water splashes are quite worth to be having."

Q: Can you leave Marshall Kilburn 2 plugged in without damaging the battery? Is it better to alternate charging and battery use?

A: Hello there, yes, you can can leave the speaker plugged in without damaging the battery, however to prolong the battery life, we suggest running the battery down and charging it every so often.

Q: Which one of the Marshall Bluetooth II version portable speaker has the most wattage and best sound?

A: Hello, great question! If you are looking at wattage, we are going to guess that you want to know which speaker is the most powerful or which speaker is going to be able to play the loudest. Wattage can be misconceiving, so let's take a look at the speakers on a measure that will allow us to compare their audio performances on even ground: SPL rating. This rating gives you a rough idea of how loud the speaker will play with a specific amount of power at a specific distance. The Stockwell II has an SPL rating of 80 dB SPL @ 1 m; The Kilburn II has an SPL rating of 100.4 dB SPL @ 1 m; and the Tufton has an SPL rating of 102 dB SPL @ 1 m. If comparing all of the portable models, the Tufton definitely can pump out the loudest tunes. If specifically looking at the portable "II Bluetooth" speakers than the Kilburn II will be the loudest. All 3 of these speakers sound amazing, but the loudest is definitely the Tufton.

Q: Can your pair two of these for a better stereo effect or overall sound?

A: The Kilburn II speaker is an independent, stand-alone speaker: it cannot be used in pairs. If you are looking for speakers to use as coupled pairs for stereo sound, check out the Acton II Bluetooth, Stanmore II Bluetooth or Woburn II Bluetooth speakers.

Q: I am interested in Marshall Kilburn II speaker. Is it available to charge with 220 voltage?

A: Yes, the Kilburn II is safe to be used with a 110V to 240V power supply.

Q: Can the Kilburn connect to my t.v.?

A: Usually, yes, as long as your TV offers 3.5 mm aux or Bluetooth as an output. There are of course some exceptions to the rule, we recommend checking the specs of your TV and comparing them with the specs of the speaker. Reach out to [email protected] if you have any questions.

Q: Does it have a surround stereo sound effect?

A: The Kilburn II speaker offers Stereo sound, however not Surround sound. It does have multi-directional speakers which immerse you in your favourite tunes.

Q: Where is this speaker made?

A: The Kilburn II is designed in Sweden and produced in China.
