- − Its sibling the Stanmore IV offers a bigger woofer for $100 more
Marshall Acton IV review: what the specs say
110W, a turntable input and a real wood cabinet — but no Wi-Fi at all. At $329.99, Marshall's 2026 model sits in the middle of the range — the home Speakers we compare run from $49.99 to $749.95. It scores 5.6/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.
Its strongest showing is Design & Build at 9.5/10 — materials, finish and how it looks in a room. The weakest is Voice Assistant at 1.0/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.
Worth knowing before you buy: no Wi-Fi at all — if you want a network speaker, this is not one; and no voice assistant and no network multiroom. Every specification on this page comes from Marshall's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.
