Review: The Marshall Heston 60 is a small soundbar that can fill big rooms

I still remember the first time I heard a Marshall speaker, it was a small portable thing that somehow managed to sound bigger than my car stereo. So when I saw the new Heston 60 soundbar, I wasn't surprised that this compact soundbar can fill big rooms. It's got that classic Marshall aesthetic, all textured vinyl and gold accents, which makes me want to display it rather than hide it away. But the real kicker is what happens when you pair it with the Heston Sub 200. Suddenly you're not just getting clear dialogue or decent movie explosions, you're feeling the thump in your chest like you're at a tiny indie gig. The subwoofer transforms the whole setup into something that rivals much larger systems. I can imagine setting this up in a living room where you don't want a massive tower speaker dominating the space, yet you still want that visceral rumble during action scenes. It's refreshing to see a brand like Marshall double down on home audio without losing their identity. They've always been about loud and clear, and the Heston 60 seems to carry that torch. If you're like me and you crave big sound from a small source, this might be your new favorite thing.
