Marshall Stanmore speaker brings vintage looks and Bluetooth to your music system

Marshall has launched a vintage-looking stereo speaker line called Stanmore that harkens back to "the golden days of rock n' roll", giving owners the best of both worlds with analog knobs and modern technology. The Stanmore speaker is being offered in both black and cream colors, with a metal grille across the front and large classic-esque logo across the face.

Calling it a compact active stereo speaker, Marshall promises the Stanmore offers both precise and clean audio at all levels, including high ones. The speaker is designed to work with a variety of audio devices, such as the average tablet or smartphone via Bluetooth connectivity, or a vinyl player with RCA input ports. There's also a standard 3.5mm auxiliary input, and compatibility with optical output.
