Munich the Movie

Here is a little film about our recent visit to Munich High End 2018 recently.

Miles 5 in Taiwan

Our great distributor from Soundray Electronics is at the Kaohsiung Hi-End Show from today to 1 April! Our classic Miles 5 is on show.  Come in and have a listen!

More from Munich!

We also had our Coltrane 3 in the Engström room. The sound was very rich and deep, a great combination with their The Lars.

Here is Timo Engström playing some tunes.

We had a pair of Miles 5 in the Cyrus room as well.

Also a very nice full sound.

Here’s also a proud creator with his latest model, Mingus Quintet. Photo: Leo Yeh, my-hiend.com

We’re already looking forward to High End Munich 2017!

Duke 2 award

Our beloved Duke 2 just received a great award at the Australian Sound+Image Awards 2016.
Duke 2 is Highly Commended.

Marten Heritage Duke 2

Swedish loudspeaker company Marten delivers understated beauty and solid engineering in the Duke 2, the entry point of the mid-level Heritage range. it’s an elegant mid-sized sharp-angled standmount dressed in an oh-so classy gloss veneer, standing 40cm high and priced at $11,290 in matte finishes, $11,890 in gloss, so you might guess they feature ingredients that take them beyond your run-of-the mill standmounter.

They boast high quality Accuton drivers — a 25mm ceramic tweeter and a 7-inch ceramic mid/bass driver, which combine to deliver a transient-fast and detailed sound – fast fingers on steel guitar strings showed what these drivers can do best.

There’s an ultra-clean handling oftransients and a delivery of profound levels of detail that can become addictive. The bass register proved rich and surprisingly ample, attacking quite powerfully on both acoustic and electric lines. This is a small speaker that’s huge on quality.

Excellent review of our Duke

The Duke 2 is a highly refined transducer with a consistent set of satisfying qualities across important performance criteria, namely, detail, transient speed, soundstage and tonality. Audio performance is high and given the form factor and the choice of veneers and finishes, it will suit any appropriately-sized environment, be it classic or contemporary.

Thank you to brand new Australian audio magazine Audio Esoterica, for such a great review.
