Marshall Hanwell speaker now available for $800, helps bring out your inner rockstar

It's been almost four months since we first (and last) heard about Marshall's special edition Hanwell HiFi speaker, but today the renowned amp maker announced its sleek system is finally ready to hit shelves in various areas around the globe. The Marshall Hanwell amp / speaker combo's set to be available in Europe, Japan and the US for a cool $800, which will give interested at-home rockstars a package that's a "carefully crafted machine, designed to attain that trademark Marshall tone" and that produces "super lows, and hi-fi tweeters yield sharp extended highs, rendering the sound sharp and clear, like sitting in the front row." You'll have to tap on the source link below quick if you're looking to snag one for yourself, though, as Marshall has already said it'll only have about 10,000 units up for grabs.

Marshall Hanwell Speakers: Rock and Roll for the Masses

Posted on by

Just like many people who saw Back to the Future: Part I and Part II in their teens, I’ve always wanted the Nike Air Mag shoes, a hoverboard, and a speaker wall that would blow my pants off. Thankfully, none of these has yet passed, as I couldn’t bear spend so much money on the Nike replica shoes that were released last year. However, building my own Marshall stack just got a little easier.

The Marshall Hanwell speaker is the legendary amp company’s first foray into consumer audio, and they released it for their 50th anniversary. It’s an iconic piece of audio design, and it’s their first loudspeaker intended to be used in homes. It has dual long-throw woofers and hi-fi tweeters to deliver Marshall’s signature sound.

The cabinet is made out of wood and vinyl, reminiscent of their trademark amps. It has an analog power switch, volume, bass, and treble controls, though it clearly does not go to 11. A single 3.5mm jack is provided for connecting your media player.

They haven’t yet announced how much it will cost, but it’s supposed to be launched this November, just in time for the holidays. Your pants better watch out!

Marshall's Hanwell HiFi speaker bred from guitar amps, made to pump out

It's been a year since the legendary guitar amp and speaker makers at Marshall Amplification made a splash in consumer audio with its Marshall Headphones spin-off (Zound / Urbanears). In commemorence of the amplification division's 50th aniversary, both have announced the Hanwell: Marshall's first speaker rig that's made for a counter-top instead of a festival stage. Combo guitar amp / speaker meets HiFi speaker. Most anyone who plays guitar, or has seen the likes of Slash and Nigel Tufnel shredding it up, will immediately recognize the iconic Marshall design ethic down to its iconic plastic nameplate on the front grill and gold accents.

There's no major tech at play inside of the system, but with looks this cool it's not like it matters -- hopefully, the sound quality will match. Up top there's a familiar panel housing a 3.5mm input, power toggle and knobs for bass, treble and volume, while internally you'll find a duo of long-throw woofers and tweeters. The cab itself is made from wood and wrapped in black vinyl tolex like its bigger JCM siblings -- heck, it even comes with a coiled audio cable. There's no specific information beyond all of that such as pricing and availability -- especially whether "these go to 11" -- but you'll find a press release and close-up shots after the break.
