Marten at Gothenburg Sound & Vision 2014

There’s a great HiFi show in Gothenburg – Sweden the weekend of 20-21 September. We will be playing the gigantic Coltrane Supreme 2 in our state-of-the-art listening room together with Jorma Design cables, MSB and Whest electronics, Gigawatt power conditioners and more.

You can meet Angel Despotov from exclusive Analogue Domain, the hottest electronics from Germany. We will of course demo one of their amplifiers, The Artemis.

We will also play our own recording Supreme Sessions 1 on Django XL and Django L in another room.

We open already on Friday 19 September 1pm – 6pm, Saturday 10am – 5pm, Sunday 10am – 5pm. We are located at Chalmersgatan 24, about 200 meters away from one of the show hotels Park Avenue.

Please come and see us and listen to some good tunes!

Multipak report

Last weekend we had a fantastic time in Croatia. Our distributor Slobodan from BM made us feel real welcome to the well renowned boutique hifi show Multipak in sunny Pakrac.

It was really good as our room felt more like a living room rather than a show. We had this great setup:

Coltrane Tenor

Multipak in Croatia

We’re participating at the well renowned Hifi show Multipak in Croatia this weekend together with our Serbian distributor BM. We will play Coltrane Tenor with Jorma cables and D’Agostino electronics.

They even chose our Coltrane Tenors for the official poster. Great choice.

Come and have a listen.

Good times!

Even though we’ve been listening to music 24/7 the last four days we still haven’t had enough. It’s an addiction isn’t it, a healthy one though.

Starstruck!

Leif Olofsson & Anne Bisson

Something really cool happened today. Our friend Vital Gbezo, marketing manager for QAT, popped in today with the amazing jazz singer Anne Bisson. She played a few tracks from her album ‘Blue Mind’ and chatted a bit about her experience recording it. We were all a bit starstruck listening to this brilliantly sounding music together with the artist. A pretty special moment all together. She said that she was completely taken back to the moment of performing which we take as a really nice compliment. Thanks for stopping by Anne!

Day One

We managed to finish the room acoustics and the rest on time and this is the result!

Main setup with Coltrane Supreme 2, Dartzeel mono blocks, Jorma Design cables and SMT room acoustics.

Marten Heritage Getz 2 loudspeakers, Dartzeel integrated amp and Jorma Design cables.

It really sounds great, especially when playing our own cd release: Supreme Sessions 1.

We’ll be back soon with more details.

Coltrane in Munich!

A few days left to the Munich High End. We will be in room A4 2.OG F214. We present the world premiere of Coltrane Supreme 2 together with SMT Diffusors, Jorma Design cables and DarTZeel electronics. Please come and have a listen.

CES Show reports #2

A few more show reports from CES 2014:

 it sounded delicately detailed, with a superbly stable rendering of the recording venue

I was so amazed by the sound of the Marten Coltrane Supreme 2, that I totally forgot to even check what other equipment was in the room.

Coltrane Supreme II speakers driven by Pass Labs amps sounded superb and solid.

CES Show reports #1

There are a good few show reports from CES out there, we start with linking you to Dagogo:

the tour de force Marten Supreme II system driven by Pass Xs series electronics which was clearly and by a rather wide margin the best sound I heard.

Two other knockouts were Neemi Jarvi conducting Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony and Gina Bachauer playing Beethoven’s Second Piano Concerto on a Mercury recording. In both instances, spatial information was excellent with good depth, imaging and soundstage. The sound of both piano and violin was also very natural. I wish that I had the resources to own a pair.
