2 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other AV receivers and amplifiers, soundbars, home theater speakers, subwoofers, surround sound systems and Blu-ray players we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Marshall's 1006887 is a 43.31-inch, 15.46 lb soundbar rated at 150W in a 2.0-channel configuration. It connects via HDMI, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi, covering both wired TV connections and wireless streaming scenarios. The tabletop-mount form factor and dimensions of 5.9 x 43.31 x 3.12 inches give it a substantial physical presence.
Marshall is known as much for industrial design as for audio output, and this unit reflects that positioning. The $1,299.99 price is high for a 2.0-channel bar at 150W, but buyers in this category are often paying for the brand, the build quality, and the aesthetic as much as the raw specs.
With only 2 ratings, there is virtually no community data to draw meaningful conclusions from. Buyers interested in this unit should treat the rating as a placeholder rather than a meaningful signal.

What buyers say
Two ratings are not enough to draw any conclusions about real-world satisfaction. This product is too new or too lightly sold to have a meaningful review base. Prospective buyers should proceed with caution given the limited feedback and high price.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Marshall 1006887 a good value at $1,299.99?
That depends on what you are buying for. At 150W and 2.0 channels, the raw specs do not justify the price on paper compared to competing bars. Marshall buyers are typically paying for the brand identity and build quality. If those factors matter to you, the pricing may be acceptable; if you prioritize specs per dollar, other options offer more.
Does it include a subwoofer?
No, the Marshall 1006887 is a 2.0-channel soundbar only. There is no bundled subwoofer and no indication of a subwoofer output port. Bass performance will be limited to what the bar's own drivers can produce.
What connections does it support?
The bar supports HDMI, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. HDMI covers your TV connection, while Bluetooth and Wi-Fi handle wireless audio streaming from phones, tablets, and network sources. Contact hello@hometheaterbuilder.com with questions about specific compatibility.
