Auf seiner Vorderseite prunkt zwar der legendäre Marshall-Schriftzug, aber er passt trotzdem besser auf ein schickes Vinatge-Sideboard als auf die große Bühne: Die Firma Marshall feiert den fünfzigsten Geburtstag ihres ersten Verstärkers mit einem Lautsprecher namens "Hanwell". Beim ersten Home Audio-Produkt überhaupt mit dem altbekannten Logo geht es letztlich mehr um das Retro-Design als um die Innereien. Schwarzer Vinyl-Rahmen, Spiralkabel und Drehregler sollen den Gitarristenpuls in die Höhe treiben. Bleibt nur zu hoffen, dass der Sound mithalten kann. Preis und Verfügbarkeit sind nicht bekannt, und auch sonst bleibt Marshall im Pressetext nach dem Break eher vage. Nett, aber nicht so cool wie das da.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
HANWELL ANNIVERSARY EDITION
Friday, August 31, 2012 – Marshall Headphones, together with Marshall Amplification proudly announces the very first home audio product to bear Marshall's legendary script logo. Named Hanwell, this active loudspeaker embodies Marshall's legacy of loud. Hailing from a line of 50th anniversary products, the Hanwell moves Marshall's heritage of big stage performance out of the arena, and into your home.
MORE ABOUT THE MARSHALL HANWELL
"In 1962 Jim Marshall developed the first Marshall amplifier in his shop in Hanwell, London, England after taking time to listen to what guitar players wanted and needed," says Managing Director of Marshall Amplification, Jonathan Ellery. "From that very first amplifier, history was created and Marshall became the most iconic guitar amplifier company in the world."
We have worked in close conjunction with Zound industries to create the first Marshall home audio product, the Hanwell. Named after the birthplace of the first Marshall amp and indeed the company, Hanwell keeps alive Marshall's tradition of listening to what the customer needs, and then exceeding their expectations."
Konrad Bergström, President of Zound Industries (parent company of Marshall Headphones) continues, "We are excited to be a part of Marshall's legendary history. From the launch of Marshall Headphones in 2010, all the way up to the Hanwell, we have worked side by side with Marshall to ensure every detail of every product we develop meets and exceeds the expectations of both Marshall Amplification and Marshall fans around the world."
The Sound of Hanwell:
Delivering a sound that resonates with the presence and power of live music, the Hanwell is a carefully crafted machine, designed to attain that trademark Marshall tone. Its dual long-throw woofers produce super lows, and hi-fi tweeters yield sharp extended highs, rendering the sound sharp and clear, like sitting in the front row of a concert.
How it Looks:
The Hanwell is housed in a wooden cabinet and clad in black vinyl. It features an analog power switch and controls for volume, bass and treble. The fret cloth and gold logo on the front are borrowed from vintage Marshall amplifiers. The body is outlined with gold piping for a celebratory effect.
As a tribute to Marshall's 50-year legacy, each Hanwell is branded with a numbered anniversary edition commemorative badge.

Oh Leute, der Kühlschrank ist nicht cool, das ist purer Kitsch.
Verstärker von Mashall sind cool, Kühlschränke die so tun als wären sie einer sind es nicht.
Definition von Kitsch:
zu häufige Reproduktion von Kunstwerken der Vergangenheit (z. B. Mona Lisa, van Goghs Sonnenblumen). Neue Werke sind oft für die Vervielfältigung gedacht und deshalb kein Kitsch.
Personen, Ereignisse etc. nehmen einen rituellen Wert an, der ihnen nicht zukommt (unechter Mythos)
Übertragung von einem Medium ins andere (z. B. Roman zu Film, Themen der klassischen Musik in die Popmusik, Gemälde zu Glasfenstern, Nachbildung von Statuen in anderem Material)
Verniedlichung
!!!
etwas tritt in der Form von etwas ganz anderem auf (z. B. eine Uhr in Gitarrenform)
!!!
übersteigerte Dimension, aber noch verwendbar (z. B. ein übergroßes Glas)
das Nachahmen einer anderen Zeit (z. B. neue Figuren im Stil des 18. oder 19. Jahrhunderts)
