Marshall Stanmore III vs Woburn III

Q: Should I buy the Marshall Stanmore III or the Marshall Woburn III?

Buy the Woburn III if you want true stereo, deeper bass, and more headroom, and have the space and budget for a noticeably bigger speaker. Buy the Stanmore III if you want the smaller footprint and lower price and can live with partial stereo from its single woofer.

Short answer: the Woburn III, if you have the room and budget for it. It ranks #3 against the Stanmore III’s #6 out of 13, but costs $236.99 more and weighs 7.44 kg against the Stanmore’s 4.4 kg.

The Woburn III is the larger speaker in every spec that matters. It steps up to a 6 inch woofer, 2x 2 inch midranges, and 2x 0.75 inch dome tweeters, driven by 150W total output against the Stanmore III’s 80W. Its frequency response reaches down to about 35Hz versus the Stanmore III’s 45Hz spec, and it’s rated for stereo playback outright rather than the Stanmore III’s partial stereo, which relies on a single woofer. Its cons note bass is still limited by that ~45Hz extension figure in practice, so don’t expect true sub-bass from either model.

The Stanmore III is the more compact option for a smaller room. It uses a 5 inch woofer, a second 5 inch midrange, and 2x 0.75 inch dome tweeters at 80W, and its cons flag the same kind of bass ceiling relative to its size, limited by its 45Hz to 20kHz spec.

Everything else matches: both are AC-powered with no battery, include Bluetooth plus RCA and aux inputs, offer bass and treble EQ, and use a ported cabinet.

Buy the Woburn III if you want true stereo, deeper bass, and more headroom, and have the space and budget for a noticeably bigger speaker.

Buy the Stanmore III if you want the smaller footprint and lower price and can live with partial stereo from its single woofer.
