Marshall's first party speaker is a detonation. Sixty years of stage heritage, compressed into a single portable unit that hits 127 dB and runs for 40 hours — this is what happens when a pro audio company decides to take the consumer category seriously.

HONG KONG Nowhere in Hong Kong has a higher confluence of luxury hotels than the throbbing heart of Tsim Sha Tsui, which makes both standards and competition high. Yet The Langham, Hong Kong really doesn’t need to try and stand out – open on Peking Road since 1989, it’s one of the city’s luxury OGs.
