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!

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

MSB Electronics with the Hard Disk Player Aurender X100 closest in the middle. All on Solid Tech racks.

Jorma Design cables are being used all over. Here is a Jorma Prime on display.

Our logotypes can be seen behind the new SMT S-Wings.

The brand new MSB Select Dac

MSB Select Dac again but opened up

We will be going on playing music until 6pm on Sunday. You are very welcome to room F214 in Atrium 4.

Coltrane 3 at Munich High End 2015

It sounds amazing!

Showtime with Marten at HiFi Linzbach!

Our great dealer in Bonn, Germany who has Coltrane Supreme 2 on permanent display will have an open house on Saturday 7 – Sunday 8 March.

It will be presented by Matthias Böde, the renowned HiFi journalist from ‘Stereo’. He will be playing his favourite songs on Coltrane Supreme 2. It’s a great chance to hear some amazing music played on these mighty speakers.

They will also play on Coltrane Momento and show  Django L, Miles 5 and Bird 2.

It’s a good opportunity to listen to speakers from all of our series. Everyone is very welcome.

Great review!

The Miles 5 is presumably the most live-sounding speaker in this size! …and price range!

We just received a copy of German HiFi magazine StereoPlay 07/2014. The conclusion goes something like this:

The Miles 5 perfectly succeeds in creating unity. This is one of the nicest, most supreme, two-way loudspeaker in the absolute top class.

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.

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.

Yet another great test of Django XL

Thank you very much to Stefan Gawlick at Hifi&Records in Germany for this great review. As usual, the translation is so so but hopefully you get the gist:

RESULT
How is this possible? That is the question I have asked myself many times during my time with Django. It is quite clear that one must look with a magnifying glass to find a speaker with such a bandwidth, wide soundstage, detail and balance. The joy that this speaker conveys with small competent amplifier is great. The Marten Django is a declaration of war and that a clear one!

More from Munich

It’s all over now but we still have some stuff to show. We finally managed to find some time to have a look at this HUGE show.

We have featured these guys before but they are so cool that we had to stay for a listen again. Gigantic antique restored theatre and cinema speakers from Silbatone Acoustics. Very impressive.
