The Marshall Acton IV won me over with its charming retro design and incredible sound, and it’s earned a permanent spot on my coffee table

The Marshall Acton IV improves on its predecessor by introducing RCA input for connecting your turntable, and it’s Auracast-enabled to connect with other Homeline IV speakers, like the Stanmore IV. It boasts room-filling sound, and carries Marshall’s trademark retro looks and amp-like controls. The treble is crisp and vibrant while the bass is meaty and powerful. However, it doesn’t feature Wi-Fi streaming or voice assistant support, and it can sound distorted at high volumes.
