Styled like the amps that made Marshall’s name, the second-gen Emberton certainly merits its position in our best Bluetooth speaker list and what’s more, it doesn’t need a team of roadies to shift it. The spacious soundstage makes room for a good amount of detail and dynamism too, even if some focus is lost in the mid-range. That’s not to say it has no low end, though: there’s power on tap to drive tracks forward with punch and excitement. The neutral sound profile swerves the temptation of beefy bass in favour of something more balanced.
