Short answer: the Marshall Stockwell II, unless you prize the Devialet Mania’s looks. The Stockwell II is possibly the most natural sounding Marshall speaker, though it is not stereo, is not very loud and adds a DSP reverb purists may find annoying. The Mania is small and nice looking but is not very loud, boosts bass, rolls treble off heavily off-axis because its tweeters are not aimed at the listener, and lasts only 10 hours.
Devialet Mania’s strengths: It’s small and nice looking. The tradeoff: it isn’t very loud, carries an extremely high price, has boosted bass, and its tweeters aren’t aimed at the listener, causing a huge treble rolloff off-axis compared to the Beoplay P6, on top of only 10 hours of battery life and upper mids and treble that Oluv didn’t care for.
Buy the Marshall Stockwell II. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Devialet Mania and costs less, which makes it the one to get unless you need something the other one does better.
