Fire up anything from the Arctic Monkeys to Taylor Swift and the sound the Middleton serves up is great

There's nothing more rock 'n' roll than a Marshall soundstack, and the same could be said of the Middleton too. Stylishly clad in a black, rubberised finish with brassy highlights, the Middleton is the bigger, boomier brother of the Emberton II we reviewed in MF384, only this time it packs two 20W woofers, two 10W tweeters and two passive radiators with sounds firing from the front, back and sides of the speaker.
