Marshall has released the Acton IV and Stanmore IV, its latest vintage-inspired home speakers, four years after the previous generation. Both models feature cabinets constructed from 100 percent wood with PU leather wrapping, maintaining an analogue aesthetic. Marshall has updated the design with an upgraded media jog dial and power switch, alongside new M-buttons for customizable shortcuts to features like Spotify Tap or equalizer presets.

Improvements extend to audio performance, with better tweeters and waveguides designed for more even sound dispersion in larger rooms. The Stanmore IV offers a wider coverage area than the Acton IV, which is suited for smaller spaces. Both promise more powerful bass and clearer sound. Connectivity options include RCA input for devices like record players and a 3.5 mm stereo jack via the AUX input.

These new speakers also support Marshall's Auracast technology for multi-device audio syncing. Owners can link older Marshall speakers to the new models using the Heddon streaming hub, available free with qualifying purchases. The Acton IV is priced at $300, and the Stanmore IV costs $400, both available in cream and black.
