Marshall Stanmore/Woburn Vs Polk magnifi/mini Vs Bose soundtouch

[sharmarj]

Please suggest what would be a better buy between Marshall , Polk and Bose
Looking to buy entry level speakers to play music wirelessly ideally from both iOS & android with and without an app (and therefore :sad: I have to think about stuff other than sonos)
Might move the speaker around a bit in the house but not take it outdoors.. won't be listening to music at blaring sound levels at least not frequently
Added bonus if it doubles up as Tv speaker but not imperative...
Thanks a lot

Hello Sharmaj,

Have been using Marshall Acton from past 1 year. Bought it over Bose soundlink.

Heard Acton and Stanmore side by side at a showroom in Belgium, went for Acton because of budget constraints. Stanmore was certainly better than Acton.

Built quality, SQ is many notches above bose.

The bass from this small box is amazing, m sure Woburn will be much better. If budget is not a constraint, I will suggest you go for Woburn, but please audition.

Havent heard polk so cant comment.

Anybody with a view on Polk magnifi?

You didn't mention the budget.
Having had the chance to hear a few recently, my suggestions would be the following.
Do have a listen.

JBL Authentics L8
JBL Authentics L16

Klipsch Heritage Wireless Series

Cheers.
