Short answer: the Marshall Stanmore III for app-based EQ, the Klipsch The One II for value and inputs. The Stanmore III pairs a 5 inch woofer and midrange with dual dome tweeters in a 9.7 lbs (4.4 kg) cabinet and adds app-based EQ, though its 45Hz-20kHz spec points to modest bass extension. The One II uses a 4.5 inch woofer and dual full-range midranges in a lighter 8.6 lbs (3.9 kg) cabinet with optical and USB inputs, but there is no companion app.
Stanmore III combines a 5” woofer and midrange with dual dome tweeters in a 9.7 lbs (4.4 kg) cabinet, with Bluetooth, RCA and aux inputs plus app-based EQ, though its 45Hz-20kHz spec still points to modest bass extension.
The One II uses a 4.5” woofer and dual full-range midranges with Bluetooth, aux, RCA, optical and USB inputs in a lighter 8.6 lbs (3.9 kg) cabinet, but there’s no companion app to adjust its sound.
Buy the Marshall Stanmore III for the higher rating and app-based EQ control. Buy the Klipsch The One II if the much lower price and extra optical/USB inputs matter more than Marshall’s styling.
