We have this- its epic BUT the whole Alexa thing is f#$%ing up the whole experience. The crap thing is... it cost more to get one of these WITHOUT Alexa. We cant find the microphone to stab it and kill that b$&@ for good. She freaking goes off all the time.... driving us crazy. There should be a way to deactivate the microphone but there isn't. Get an older model without Alexa or chuck up the extra cash to avoid it if you are like us and dont need/want that freaking thing in your business 24/7. If anyone has figured out how to disable it with doing damage or where to find it to do damage to it, please let me know!
Sad to say they have the same low end being different sizes but I guess Stanmore probably could have more spl to fill bigger rooms. Just lsitening the Stanmore wins for me having a more relaxed sound.
in this comparison, the acton sounds way better to me. as soon as the stanmore comes on, I cringe. I would expect the stanmore to sound way better! The stanmore sounds super muffled and like it doesn't have as much range (but how could that be?).
The Acton 2 and Stanmore 2 both use the same 15 watt tweeters. The Acton being smaller works better with those tweeters and has 20 watts less power going to the woofer so the bottom end isn't overpowering the high frequency range. Thats my humble opinion on why the Acton sounds better!
It does. I've listened to both of them and picked Acton II. Stanmore needs to be listened to really loud to show off. Yet, is bigger but doesn't offer much more for the size.

what was the volume level, bass, treble settings for each one of them while testing? Why Acton is sounding better?
Agree Acton is way better
@@cbscorner more HF it's better ?
do they work paired with a sony pick up? not bluetooth but via cables
Man this is a tough one if I had to choose I’d go with the acton II better balance and highs with bass
MSII sound near the source but not as wide and open.
Why acton always better than stanmore at all series :)

@@stevomcsteve9492 wow cool! Thanks so much for sharing that!
@@stevomcsteve9492 Could you fix that by reducing bass or increasing treble on the controls?
Thanks for all comments! I decided to acquire the acton after this video and seeing the comments. Cost/benefit is better for acton I believe.
@@stevomcsteve9492 which one would u buy?
👏👍
모니터 스피커로 들으니 액톤이 낫고 폰으로 보면 스탠모어가 그럴싸함 왜냐면 폰은 저음이 다죽기때문
The stanmore sounds so harsh
Stamore win
action sounds better imho

It's Acton, not Action.
Взросло звучит тамагочи
Standmore seems better
my stanmore broke after 4 years of very low usage.
What happened?

@@natanaelalan6440 it does not produce volume. I still hear it but at very low volume even with the knob at max
@@cyberbarbaro hmm🤔 how long have you been using it? I just bought a used one.
@@natanaelalan6440 not more than 20 hours
