Short answer: the Loewe We. Hear Pro. It ranks #20 of 120 large speakers by sound quality, rated 4.3/5, at $275. The Marshall Kilburn II ranks #42, rated 3.8/5, at $219, $56 cheaper, which does not close the gap in sound quality.
The Loewe We. Hear Pro is the better-sounding, tougher option. A true stereo speaker with excellent separation, a warm balanced midrange and furniture shaking bass at moderate volume. It is rated IPX6 against IPX2 for the Marshall Kilburn II. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Marshall Kilburn II lacks. It links with other speakers (up to 14 speakers), which the Marshall Kilburn II cannot. Watch for: It runs out of headroom quickly: above about 70% volume the bass drops away, the treble gets harsher, and near maximum there is heavy compression and clipping, so the JBL Xtreme 4, Harman Kardon Go + Play 3 and Bogasing S8 Pro Max all sound fuller and cleaner when played loud.
The case for the Marshall Kilburn II: A rugged Marshall styled stereo speaker with a leather handle, quick charging and a sound that suits rock. Watch for: Boosted upper bass, not very detailed, not as deep bass as competitors, upper mids peak.
Buy the Loewe We. Hear Pro. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $56 with the Marshall Kilburn II does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
