Coltrane Supreme 2 – Meet Your Maker in HiFi+

the Marten Coltrane Supreme 2´s real success will not be measured in sales, but in the influence in exerts over the Marten range, and – in a wider perspective – the whole high-end loudspeaker market. It´s that important!

meet_your_maker_1

There’s a great article in the HiFi+ Loudspeaker Special, Issue no 123 of the UK magazine. Written by former editor in chief Roy Gregory and current editor in chief Alan Sircom. It’s all about our company and especially Coltrane Supreme 2.

High End Munich 2015 – The Room

We were lucky to get some shots of the room yesterday before we opened otherwise it’d have been impossible. There has been a constant crowd hindering the view 🙂 Leif is playing a crazy mix of tunes, everything from Rock with Jimi Hendrix , Jazz with Hiromi and Beethoven with Lang Lang to Electronica with James Blake and Blues with Junior Wells. It all sounds great!

The system

Here is the main system – Four MSB M203 Mono blocks between the pair of Coltrane 3

High End in Stockholm

We had a great time with our guests in Stockholm a couple of weeks ago. Rui Borges and Vicky Rosario were there from Portugal as well as Marc Gomez who lives in Gothenburg but originates from Barcelona. Frank Vermeylen from Belgium and of course Michael Fremer from the US were there too so we were a very international bunch, as it normally is on these shows.
