Amazing Mingus Quintet review

We just received a brilliant review of Mingus Quintet in Korean Hi-Fi & Home Theatre magazine.

Here is a rough translation of the final paragraph:

Just as the luxurious feel and glamour of the exterior, the inside is armed with accurate detail and richness. The high-frequency tendency is natural rather than intense. It combines the clarity, detail and quick response of the mid and low range in mid-range to create a dynamic sound that accurately expresses the Martens Mingus Quintet style no matter what genre it is. As a speaker, Mingus Quintet is the ideal combination of flagship Coltrane series and mid-range Heritage line-up. 

Thank you!

Award!

Guangzhou Audio Video Fair 2016

We just had a fantastic weekend participating at the Guangzhou AV Fair. Great sound, great music, great people, everything you need for a perfect show. 

Our Coltrane Supreme 2 had good company with CH precision electronics, a TechDas turntable that had a SAT tonearm. Impressive was the word we heard the most and we agree the sound was breathtaking, if we may say so ourselves.

Jörgen held a few presentations in front of the crowds of audiophiles. 

One can expect a lot of people in big city like Guangzhou but the visitor count was extremely high this time! 

A big thank you to everyone involved. We are looking forward to next year.

Finally…

we are on facebook! Please join us.

Nice!

Tokyo International Audio Show 2016

This past weekend was very stimulating for us. Being in Tokyo and also having the opportunity to participate at the fantastic Tokyo International Audio Show. This was the first time there which made it even more exciting.

We showed our mighty Coltrane 3 together with a TechDas turntable, SAT tonearm, CH Precision and Constellation Audio electronics. This combination made for a real detailed and rich sound that was very well received. Our room was full to the brim most of the time.

We are having a real food experience here in Tokyo, the standard is as high as can be almost everywhere.
