I wish they tuned the killburn properly. I love my stockwell 2 for low level, and 2 motion booms for party time 👍👍

[@alanrossreviews]

2 motion booms! we laugh in the face of the kilburn!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤓

[@mikehancock6280]

I can’t wait to see Soundcore’s next speaker upgrade from the boom. The Kilburn sounds very similar to the Urbanears Ralis and testing it against the select pro. I had the same or similar results as you had.

[@alanrossreviews]

you sold it then?

[@mikehancock6280]

@@alanrossreviews no I still have it. The battery is dead so I need to send it out for repair per Urbanears warranty instructions.

[@johnmoreno5965]

Isn't the upgrade the pro? Btw that's a down grade I think

[@mattmiller2761]

Thanks Alan. With that weird L/R channel setup, it would be interesting to hear how it handles extreme L/R channel separation. Like the beginning of Pink Floyd's track Money.

[@ivanslash276]

Please, make a review of the Stanmore II

[@bluetooth_speaker_junkie]

It seems the Killburn 2 has a huge upper bass peak with a big roll off in the sub-bass frequencies. I'd say putting a bass port over passive radiators was a huge mistake here. Imo boomy bass doesn't sound bad if it digs deep but if upper bass becomes BOOMY it can sound quite irritating. I'm not saying upper bass is always bad in fact it can sound quite good if its a "tight upper bass" like the W-King D8's. So as far it goes for upper bass heavy speakers I would rather have the D8 over this which comes at a fraction of the cost.

[@alanrossreviews]

simply has no balance, thus it just adds to the mess.

[@bluetooth_speaker_junkie]

It's 400 $ in my country 😂😂😂

[@bluetooth_speaker_junkie]

More expensive than the JBL Extremely Priced 3 😁

[@_-Z-]

I think the sweet spot seems to be the Stockwell 2 as far as the Marshall speakers go. In my opinion, as with the xtreme 3, the Killburn 2 just really doesn't offer enough considering it's price point. Thanks for another great one, Alan! 😁👍👏

[@alanrossreviews]

[@Nobbsify]

Should it be possible to damage a soundcore motion boom by playing music at max volume and maxed eq settings?

[@alanrossreviews]

In theory yes but from clipping rather than distortion of the drivers

[@Nobbsify]

@@alanrossreviews I ask because I bought two of them and one started to present distortion from the right speaker at certain frequencies and now that I've gone and replaced that one, the same thing has happened to the other. I'm wondering if it's a manufacturing defect or whether I've done something wrong. There was only one time I can think of when I played them at max volume for an extended period of time and even then there were no immediate consequences. The first started sounding distorted a few days later and the second has only manifested the problem after about a month.

[@aktunav]

I don't know why but Marshall speakers have just a bit harsh sound for my ear...That is maybe the Marshall's sound signature that is coming from rock musics...

[@alanrossreviews]

i agree with you, i find the highs a little hard to take.

[@mrq1182]

I have a Klipsch Heritage Groove. Are you familiar with it? How would it compare sound wise to the Marshall Stockwell II? Would it be worth the purchase comparing it to the Klipsch?

Hey Alan, nice Video as always! I wanted to ask you how much louder a Minirig 2.2 Setup gets when you add 2 Minirig mini 2s? In your big Minirig 1.0 - 4.2 Video it seems to add quite a bit of loudness but the speakers are only playing at 66%. Or are the Minis complelety drowned by the Minirig 3 at Max Volume?

[@alanrossreviews]

It doesnt add much loudness but it does make a difference as it adds a dollop of highs but open highs, not edgy like the mk3s

I personally prefered the Killburn in this sound test all the way through. The vocals sounded out of the box. They would really have a winner if you could pair the Killburn with the Stockwell.

[@alanrossreviews]

i wonder what you are listening to this on? what difference between the kilburn and the stockwell did you hear?

[@zozoart]

@@alanrossreviews You didn't have the Stockwell in this comparison. I was listening with Bose headphones. Also, I have the Kilburn and did notice a difference after break-in, where the volume started coming in at lower settings. Great reviews by the way.

[@ford1546]

should you have clear good sound or a lot of bass? this type of speaker tends to have too much bass in too high frequencies between 100hz and 300hz since such small speakers do not handle deep bass so well. this results in a tiring sound type many times

[@alanrossreviews]

You can have both

[@idangivon7957]

I've learned my lesson with online reviews. All these people will just nitpick nonsense that 99% of consumers don't actually notice or give a shit about. When you are in the market for a $200 plus speaker odds are you are getting a nice product. Just got my kilburn 2 and it sounds fantastic. I'm sure the others are great too.

Alan Ross Reviews Top Picks: Pound for pound world champion: Soundcore Motion Boom: geni.us/motionboom Amazingly deep bass to 40hz for its size and price. Still worth a look: My former world champ the Soundcore Motion Plus can still offer great clarity. geni.us/soundcoremotionplus £50 champion: Great bass for its size, Soundcore Boost: geni.us/soundcoreboost A little bigger but a decent listen for the price BOGASING M4: geni.us/bogasingm4 Hi End Picks Minirig mk3 2.2 system: geni.us/minirigmk3 Great for portable low deep kick: Onyx Studio 6: geni.us/onyxstudio6 Monitor Like openess but lacks deep bass Audio Pro C3: geni.us/audioproc3 Best Micro Options: Bose Soundlink Micro (warm): geni.us/bosesoundlinkmicro Tribit Stormbox Micro (clinical): geni.us/tribitstormboxmicro Worth a Look: W-King T9: geni.us/wkingt9 The T9 is a reasonably loud and balanced party speaker with a big bright detailed sound. Budget Loud Boombox: no clear winner but my pick for fun outside listen would be: W-King X10 geni.us/wkingx10 Travel Speakers: Marshall Stockwell 2: geni.us/stockwell2 offers a decent immersive sound with full and tight bass. Beware though it does go very loud JBL Charge 5: geni.us/jblcharge5 Only mono but has a very clear and dynamic sound at low volumes and can go reasonably loud but will become a little screechy over 80%.

@Alan Ross Reviews Try the Bose Flex. For its size i have never heard a speaker with more impressive bass. It almost has as much bass as my soundcore motion plus and almost as deep but half the weight and size. my old gripe is a slight upper bass peak with some tracks and its crap above 75%. so much compression, intermodulation and distortion. seams like it was tuned for lower volumes. but thats fine with me. i never liston at max. the bass completly caught me off gaurd. i cant believe a speaker thats only 1.3 pounds can have such a quality full rich bass. It makes the bass of my stockwell 2 thats set to 10 sound weak. i used to have a A1 gen2 and the bose craps all over it at least below 75%. i have about 45 speakers in my colection now. Bose is my pound for pound world champ atm in its szie class.

@@alanrossreviews this speaker and it's brand in general I think is very specific to the music you play. If there isn't much bass, more vocals, and strings, more mids and highs then you will hear each note. I bet people who rave about it are into that kind of music. But the music you play does not work with it. or let's say there are better options out there and for less.

The JBL scores the highest but it's also the most expensive. The Soundcore is the best bang for your buck speakers. That leaves the Marshall's in the middle. So it all depends on the person's personal budget but if money is no object I would definitely pick the JBL's. Just sayin'.

[@TommyM3]

I would say, the marshall isn't made for electronic music. I think it demonstrates it's muscles at accustic drums, highheads and accustic or hand made sound as a general rule. I mean rock music like Nirvana, Rammstein or classic rock like Led Zeppelin. This kind of music needs not really deep bass. The other side: The boom or the extreme can also handle such music with good quality. So in the end: The marshall is superfluous for real musiclovers and is only made for fanboys and girls. My Opinion 😉
