Source1Maker product pagemarshall.com/us/en/product/middletonRead 10 October 2026Audio specification lists two 3 in 15 W woofers and two tweeters of 10 W. The woofer size is converted exactly to mm. The tweeter size is published as 3/5 in on the maker page and as 3.5 in by Trusted Reviews, so no tweeter diameter is stored. The watt figures have no stated continuous, RMS or peak basis, so no per-driver power is stored. Amplifiers are listed as two 20 W Class D for the woofers and two 10 W Class D for the tweeters, also without a rating basis.5Reviewtrustedreviews.com/reviews/marshall-middletonRead 10 October 2026Full specs table lists two 3 in woofers, two tweeters and two passive radiators. The 3.5 in tweeter size conflicts with the maker's 3/5 in, so it is not stored.
