Customer Ratings & Reviews

Thank you for your review. Depending on how you are connecting your speaker, whether it is Bluetooth or Aux, the profile of the volume will be different. This will also depend on the device you are listening with. The Kilburn II does have a sound pressure level of 100.4 db, which can be quite loud in many circumstances. Speakers in the is category will often have an SPL of 90 - 100 db, this means that the Kilburn II will be on par or even beat many speakers in terms of max volume in this class. We do have other options which will have a higher rating as well as perceived loudness, such as the Tufton by Marshall. All speakers will be tuned to the maximum possible loudness without causing distortion or damage, either to the ear or equipment. Also, please note that the speaker will be amplifying the signal coming from the phone or music devices. This means that if the phone or devices does not have much amplification from its DAC or there is an impedance issue (this will often happen with physical connections, like aux) the volume may be lower than expected. Please test the speaker with a few devices, and also please check your phone to see if there are any hearing protection settings enabled. Also, the amplification of the Kilburn will be independent of the volume coming from the phone as they are not digitally synced, this means that the volume of the phone as well as the volume of the speaker will need to both be adjusted to find that right sound. All of this being said, Marshall does really appreciate your input and feedback. Best Buy also wishes to offer the most satisfactory devices for their customers. Take care, and keep Rockin! All the best :)

Thank you for your review. The speaker will play a flat signal when the knobs are turned to 5. The speaker plays pretty steadily through all of the frequencies for the best possible outdoor listening experience. The Kilburn II does not have dedicated mid-range drivers, the mids will be split between the Woofer and Tweeters. It has a very even dynamic range making it a great speaker for gatherings and parties without having unsettling dynamics while offering great stereo clarity. This makes it a great speaker for ambient listening. If you are looking for a good home speaker that will be more dynamic and full, I would recommend the Marshall Stanmore III as it uses a more traditional stereo/bass reflex design, although it would only be for home use as it is not portable.
