Short answer: both are discontinued, so this only matters if you are buying used. Used, the Marshall Woburn I is the better pick: it ranks #4 of 29 powered desktop speakers by sound quality (rated 4.0/5), against #12 (rated 3.7/5) for the Marshall Stanmore II. If you want one new, the Marshall Woburn III replaces the Marshall Woburn I and is rated 4.1/5 at $599.99.
Buy the Marshall Woburn I only if you find one used in good condition; both are discontinued, and it is the better rated of the two. For a new speaker, buy the Marshall Woburn III, which replaces the Marshall Woburn I.
