THE FUSE

The Bluetooth speaker market overflows with generic black boxes that all sound roughly the same, but Marshall brings legitimate audio heritage and iconic design to an over-crowded category. The Acton III just dropped to a record low of $179 for Black Friday’s opening day on Amazon, down from its usual $299 price. Marshall built its reputation on guitar amplifiers that shaped rock and roll for decades, and that audio expertise translates directly into home speakers that sound like music instead of compressed digital mush.
