These can be compact speakers, which can also be taken with you to the yard, as well as systems designed exclusively for transportation around the house. And in order to be sure of the quality of the sound, you can choose the products of a brand that has been respected by professionals for more than half a century and is known even to people very far from the music industry - Marshall. Marshall speakers are organized in a hierarchy depending on the capabilities and size.
This hierarchy looks like this: Woburn, Stanmore, Acton and their versions with built-in battery Tufton, Kilburn, Stockwell.

The dimensions of the Stanmore II column are 350x195x185 mm, weight is 4.65 kg. The Stanmore II speaker is designed exclusively for home use and is powered only from the outlet.

Tufton is made portable by its built-in battery, the capacity of which the manufacturer does not name, but assures that it will be enough for more than 20 hours of operation.
