Short answer: the W-King T9. It ranks #50 of 115 large speakers by sound quality, rated 3.6/5, at $111.23; the Marshall Stockwell III ranks #79, rated 3.0/5, and costs $249.99, which makes this an easy call rather than a real tradeoff.
The Marshall Stockwell III is the longer-running, lighter option. A stylish, rugged speaker with a very long battery you can swap yourself, a detailed app EQ, and power bank charging. It is rated for 40 hours of battery against 24 for the W-King T9. At 2.9 lbs (1.3 kg) it weighs much less than the W-King T9 at 10.1 lbs (4.6 kg). It is rated IP55, while the W-King T9 has no water resistance. The tradeoff: Highs are recessed by default and need the treble control maxed to compensate, still lacking detail even then.
The W-King T9 is the better-sounding pick. A loud stereo party speaker with a wireless microphone for karaoke, lights, a long battery and a power bank. The tradeoff: Peaks in the upper mids which makes it sound a bit harsh.
Buy the W-King T9. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Marshall Stockwell III and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
