amazon Marshall Kilburn reviews
Classic design
Marshall Kilburn is very big and heavy. Simply because the speaker weighs up to 3kg.
Like the predecessors of Stanmore or Woburn, Kilburn possesses a Marshall-like design: a bumpy, powerful, dusty metal-to-metal speaker, and a high-grade plastic shell. On the top of the speaker is the area of the control panel and the connector, which is finished with metal.
The overall size of Kilburn is 240 x 140 x 140 mm and its weight is about 3 kg.
Kilburn’s front is a silver-plated metal speaker with familiar Marshall strokes.
Not only owning the atpX 4.0 standard bluetooth connection ensures high quality lossless audio transmission, Kilburn also supports a 3.5mm AUX port.
In the middle of the highlight are three knobs to adjust the volume, bass and treble. All control knobs and connectors are made from scratched metal on a yellow background for the nostalgic memory of the 60s.
Finally, the power off button also uses the classic bold type.
However, with the leather strap on the top, you can still carry this speaker when going out quite easily.
The back of the system is a screw – so the repair or replacement of batteries for Killburn is much easier
Marshall Kilburn also has a built-in 4-inch-diameter subwoofer, so a vent pipe is essential
The rubber feet on the bottom of the speakers significantly contribute to limiting vibration when the volume is high.
The battery of this loudspeaker allows continuous playback of 18-20 hours after each charge, an impressive number compared to competitors in the same segment. Accessories included with Kilburn are two power jacks for charging instead of a removable adapter.

Ampli class D, awesome performance, impressive sound quality
In contrast to the vintage look, inside Marshall Kilburn are high-end hardware components that promise impressive sound performance. First of all, it must be said that the amplifier class D has been refined to fit neatly in this speaker and 2.1W speaker system power 25W.
Experience shows that pairing Marshall Kilburn with smartphone / tablet or PC is simple and fast. Users can connect via bluetooth standard atpX 4.0 with high quality lossless audio transmission or 3.5mm Auxiliary port via cable included. The volume / bass / treble buttons work smoother, so the listener can easily tune the sound to the right track.
Kilburn’s speaker system consists of two 3/4″ tweeter drivers in charge of the mid range, treble and a 4″ subwoofer that promises a powerful bass range. With a total capacity of 25W, Marshall’s speakers can fit well into the 25m2 music space. Kilburn’s sound reproducibility is excellent, not to be outdone by competitors such as JBL Extreme, Harman Infinity One, but also slightly higher in the midrange.
Kilburn’s bass is quite good in volume, strong, but still fits and controls well. The bass strings are not as trendy as the JBL, but they are solid.
Besides, the other two strings also make me quite surprise: mid clear, smooth, good detail while the treble is up to light, not flicker. This makes Kilburn the best portable speaker at this time, from pop, jazz, dance to classical, rock, …
The downside of the Marshall speakers is that the mid section still has a feel inside the speakers, but can not escape out, in addition to the feeling of 3D space is not very spacious, depth. However, this is also inherent weaknesses of most of today’s portable speakers and users can be completely acceptable.
In the midrange segment, it’s hard to find Marshall Kilburn as an all-in-one player: luxury design, awesome battery life, and excellent audio quality. Of course, the heavy weight, not integrated microphone or not waterproof are the disadvantages of Killburn with many high-end portable speakers today.
