Product information
Marshall Acton Black portable speaker black
General
In addition to their guitar amplifiers, Marshall also makes products for your personal space, including headphones and multi-media speakers such as this compact Acton portable speaker with Bluetooth connection. If your smartphone, tablet or laptop has Bluetooth, you can stream your music wirelessly over this stunning speaker. Marshall wouldn't be Marshall if the sound from the Acton wasn't sublime!
Marshall Acton Black: compact powerhouse
This compact active stereo speaker delivers an excellent performance. To do so, the Acton is equipped with three class-D amplifiers (1x 25W and 2x 8W) accompanied by a 4-inch woofer and two 0.75-inch dome tweeters. The frequency response of this device lies between 50 Hz and 20 kHz, with a crossover frequency of 4.2 kHz, resulting in a balanced sound with a clear midrange and defined trebles. But that's not all, as the powerful bass sound of the Acton is sure to surprise you, especially when you have another look at just how small this speaker actually is.
Housing
This highly stylish speaker has a wooden housing and a black vinyl finish with gold-coloured details. The volume, bass and treble knobs are on a brushed brass plate that also holds the 3.5mm jack audio input (to connect your smartphone, tablet, multi-media player or laptop), retro analogue on/off switch and red power indicator. A beautiful, vintage-style coil cord with 3.5mm stereo jacks is included.
Richer Sounds will do a price match depending upon t&c's.

If this is the one I'm thinking of, it got some pretty glowing reviews when it first came out. Great sound quality

Tempted but I'd probably go for the Kitsound Contempo that seems to have a comparable output and more sound for your pound (http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/kitsound-contempo-bluetooth-speaker-29-99-ebay-vodafonestore-2592951) Voted hot cos it is a good deal on this product.
