But Marshall, manufacturer of iconic guitar amps and a growing portfolio of wireless speakers and headphones, is marching on regardless, with the launch of its first soundbar.
And at $1,000, the Atmos-capable Heston 120 is an ambitious first entry.
The result is the Heston 120, a 5.1.2-channel Atmos and DTS X soundbar with 11 separate drivers positioned to offer a wide and high sound field from a single box.
The Heston 120 certainly comes with plenty of music options to put it to the test, including AirPlay 2, Googlecast, and Bluetooth LE, plus Tidal and Spotify Connect.
While its speakers are well known for their distinct look, reminiscent of the brand’s famous amplifiers, Heston 120 dials back that approach, just a bit.
