You’re probably heard of and seen Marshall’s newest party speaker, the powerful Bromley 750 that’s just been recently unveiled. For anyone seeking a big party speaker that approaches the legendary power of the original Marshall Stack, the Bromley is a must-have. But the home speaker it’s replacing, the Acton III, is great in its own right, and right now at Amazon it’s also $100 off in a limited-time 33%-off deal. The $200 price on the black and cream color options of the Acton III is a huge opportunity to land a 4.8-star-rated wireless home speaker well below its price point. (The midnight blue model is still listed at full-price.)
The Marshall Acton III is also a better choice than the Bromley 750 for anyone seeking a more compact, low-key home speaker that can still deliver peak Marshall sound for solo enjoyment all the way up to a full-on house party, without the imposing size and wall-shaking volume of the Bromley 750.
Mini-Marshall
The Acton III has the trademark Marshall logo in the front, backed by the always-great Marshall sound quality, but it sits comfortably on a shelf instead of occupying floor space. With that throwback look of the classic Marshall Stack made famous by rock legends like Jimi Hendrix and Pete Townshend, the Acton III is as pleasing to the eye as it is to the ear.
This updated version of the Acton III brings 60 watts of sound, and rocks a next-gen Bluetooth 5.2 connection to ensure a consistent and steady signal so your music or podcast doesn’t drop out. And once you pair your smartphone, tablet, or laptop to the Acton III, you’re set — there are no complex connections or settings to deal with. You can hardwire a device to the Acton III’s 3.5mm AUX port too, using the Source button to toggle between connections.
Throwback Look, Modern Build
The Marshall Acton III looks like a miniaturized version of its classic ancestors from the ’60s, but the construction is all 2025, with a PVC-free build that’s 70% recycled plastic and only vegan materials. That also means it’s far lighter and yet probably sturdier than its wood-and-leather forefathers.
This is a classic example of a company’s newest release giving an established product a gentle nudge toward the sale aisle, and while the release of the Bromley 750 is knocking $100 off the price of the Acton III, the Acton isn’t going anywhere except on your shelf or bookcase once you head to Amazon and take advantage of the new $200 price on this top-rated home Bluetooth speaker.
