depends on whether you want to listen to music or just bass? Experience shows that JBLs are very bass-heavy and drown out everything. I am very satisfied with the Emberton, no matter what style of music.
The Marshall are visually hard to beat.
I think the sound is great, but I can't say anything about the JBL.
I have the Emberton for on the road and an Acton 2 at home.
