More Hi-Fi in Munich

Lars — Fri, 20 May 2011 16:08:49 +0000

Almost first in today was Adrian Bankewitz from Accuton with family.

He played such a cool record with Chinese drums. Really loud and rumbly, in a good way of course, it sounded awesome. He Xun Tian, is the artist, very famous in China.

Here are today’s favourite vinyl albums: Bob Dylan – Oh Mercy, Chet Baker – Live in Sweden and…

This one, which has such a cool cover, Gerry Mulligan – Night Lights.

Leif finally had a spare moment to take me around a bit of the fair which was really cool.

Here’s Swedish DLS’ latest speaker.

Also their wall hung speaker which is really popular as part of home cinema systems.

EAR-Yoshino sounding nice as usual.

They played this funky album: The Jazz Crusaders – Lighthouse ’68.

Nice stuff from AMC and Audium.

Here is Per Engelholm from Engelholm Audio, changing cables on his brilliant new system.

and their The Shape.

Ok, there has been a lot of Swedish stuff today. It sort of feels like the Eurovision song contest when everyone are voting for their neighbouring countries. We’ll try and be more cosmopolitan tomorrow:)

Tonight it’s party time with our friends form China. Hopefully we’ll survive:)

Over and out.

We ♥ Munich (and high-fidelity)

What a great place Munich is. Walking around in this beautiful city in the spring weather is a real treat. Popping into a bierhalle for a drink here and there makes it all even better:)

The High End fair is exactly how you would expect it to be in Germany, neat, tidy and well organised with a lot of space for everyone. We had our room set up and ready yesterday evening and it’s actually sounding pretty darn good if we may say that ourselves.

Unfortunately I had a little memory mishap and forgot my Canon 50D that I usually use for all the blog photos but luckily, Leif’s little handy Olympus F1.8 takes great pictures so that is what we’ll be using for this show.

The Coltrane 2, M•Amp and M•Furniture set up with Jorma Design’s brand new cables, Unity. We also use SMT’s lovely looking diffusors that we had in our room at CES 2011 in Las Vegas.

The FormFloors, the FromSub and Bladelius Tyr, playing audio from a MacBook Air also makes for a pretty neat second set up.

Even if the room is quite large we actually filled it most of this rather busy day. Tomorrow the show will open for non-audio business people so maybe it will be even busier.

See you tomorrow with more form the rest of the show.

Top Form in Rotterdam

We just received these awesome photos from Hans, our distributor in Netherlands. They are from a client of his in Rotterdam. The FormFloors really seem to have been released into their natural habitat.

It seems that the FormFloors are hooked up with stylish AVM electronics.

Hifi & Surround 2009 in Copenhagen

Lars — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 20:07:08 +0000

Marten’s new distributor in Denmark, Absolute Hifi, sorted out a room for us at the Hifi & Surround show in Copenhagen last weekend. It’s not the biggest of HiFi show, but it concentrates on quality rather than quantity and also, it is always fun to visit Copenhagen/Denmark.

Loudspeakers Marten Heritage Bird, Power amps; the Atlas model from Aesthetix, Phono stage Aesthetix IO, Preamp Aesthetix Calypso, Media player from qsonix and Turntable from German TW Acustic. This fabulous reference model is called Raven Black Night. Thanks to Audionet from HiFiForum.nu for the photo.
