Detailed Test Results

Sound quality: Marshall Kilburn has good overall sound quality. Bass has decent impact, is somewhat boomy, and the deepest bass is lacking. Midrange is fairly even but grainy and a bit soft. Treble is fairly extended and even, but lower and mid-treble are slightly smeared and upper treble is sizzly. It does a so-so job of recovering room ambience, but lacks treble air and sounds congested. It also lacks fine detail. No significant difference between Bluetooth and wired sound quality. Provides a decent volume level in a small- to medium-sized room.

Ease of use: Overall, we found the system's ease of use to be excellent. Bluetooth pairing was easy. The controls on the unit are extremely easy to use, well labeled and intuitive and switching between sources is clear. This unit lacks a remote, although this is not an issue if it's being used within arm's reach or if it's being used with a mobile Bluetooth device, which can be used like a remote control.
