    One small, very small nitpick: the text above the graphs says „in room response *PER PAIR* at 1m”... I suppose it's a leftover from using templates from previous videos. It's quite obvious these aren't paired, but just a single speaker enclosure.

    The Marshall is very straight in your face, but the Edifier holds a bit back in my opinion. If I was forced to make a choice it would be the Marshall. It gives me some sort of 'party feeling'. Though I'm a huge Edifier fan, this one lacks a bit of character. Great comparison, thanks!

    Hard to choose... They are clearly targeting the same usage pattern, but the sound is extremely different (despite what the audio graph would suggest). Marshall is bright and a bit more articulate on bass, but the overall sensation is one of a noisy boombox; Edifier sounds a bit dull, but at the same time very, very usable as a bedroom speaker that would never tire your ears even if left to play as background music.

    I would say D12 is better for a affordable price. It got more low-mid to mid sounds, I think it would be softer than Action II. Action II bass is much more faster, clearer, but treble is just way too sharp.

    I have just reviewed and taken a look inside the Edifier on my channel. My conclusions were, very good value for money but way too much EQ and bass lift. It sounds more like a HiFi speaker with the Bass control fully off and the treble control at about 11am. It's almost impossible to get a flat frequency response from it. Would mostly suit electronic music. Real voice and natural instruments sound quite coloured. But it only costs $160NZ very good value, a lot of speaker and amplification for the money. Very little stereo separation however but does offer depth over mono.

    For D12 v2... I think One channel for bass is pretty enough, then it could be bigger. Bass reflex hole can be in the back or either in the bottom. In their space there could be maybe a smaller high and a mid speaker. And also, I heard the Stanmore in action, and the cover cannot be removed. It is really good. So, the cover should not change the sound at all. But for another rooms I may still buy D12.

    I own both and I love them, especially considering their very affordable price. D12 has deeper low frequencies. Maybe a little too deep. The R1280DB has crystal clear high frequencies, barely decent mids (I suppose it depends on the factory settings) and quite satisfying bass sounds. Listening to both is easy, enjoyable and never tiring (and that's important, at least to me). D12 reproduces jazz/fusion music very well, even if it lacks true stereo sound, because the L and R speakers are too close together. Progressive rock, for example, could be unsatisfying. On the other hand, the D12's movie/tv mode acts as a kind of old Loudness switch, which can help you appreciate bass tones at low volume levels. If I had to choose, I would opt for R1280DB. They are less powerful but more versatile: they digest any musical genre sufficiently well, including movies. I can't say the same for D12.

    I own Marshall for almost 2 years. Listening to this test on a decent headphones and I can't really agree with what I just hear. Obviously can't comment on Edifier at all, as I don't have it. In real life, Marshall sounds actually like 75% of Edifier in here. The difference between the original soundtrack on headphones and marshall is not so big as here. Marshall sounds in here like Trebble and Bass was turned up to about 75% So midds vanished. Wasn't? - Where Marshall is doing a good job is Rock, slow Metal, Acoustic stuff etc. Basically, anything involving guitar. No surprise in here since is Marshall. - It does a very good job as a home speaker turned on for all 8h a day (I do have a google assistant version). It has a pleasant, calm type of sound. It doesn't grind your head like some JBL products which you just want to turn off. Not the case here. It plays music at home for about 8h a day for the last 2 years so I know as much. - Bass is very impressive for such a small speaker. When I tested it against the bigger brother Stanmore I actually preferred Acton. - Powerful enough for casual listening in a fairly large room (maybe not by US standards). I'm using it on 40m2. Plenty of power left although can't comment on "loud party mode" - it looks amazing. It does have this classic marshall look and top-notch finish quality. - At some point, I thought about upgrading. Why? Just because I always want something better. Tested a few more speakers in the shop, and even ordered Technics SC-30 which is about 2x more expensive. It had better mids, only but not the rest - returned. Looks like a little Acton II is staying with me for a long while. - Is it the killer among the BT speakers? Hell no. For sure there is something better (I just didn't find it yet) Pair of my QA concept 20 sounds a lot better but costs 5x more. Let's be realistic. Final question - would I buy it again? Definitely, as I can't find anything better sounding and not looking like is made for a teenager.

    Get the Marshall. It sounds so much better, there’s no comparison. The Marshall is more dynamic, the trust in every notes has more power, hence u can separate and hear everything more clearly. Do not be misled by this recording which may show the treble of the Marshall to be overly bright. When u hear it in person, it sounds more realistic, u will be glad & surprised how good it is. I do not own the Marshall Acton 2, but I recently bought the Marshall Emberton, it really is so good. The mid bass has so much slam to it and treble is crystal clear, there are so much nuances and depth in it. And if u like vocals, Marshall never disappoint. 👌👍✌️
