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.

Big Demo in Finland this weekend

Our awesome dealers in Tampere are having a big Marten demo in their great shop. You will be able to listen to sweet sounding music from Duke 2, Miles 5, Bird 2, Django L and Coltrane Soprano. A great opportunity to get a feel of the different qualities of our speakers. Please come and listen, it will be a great weekend.

Miles 5

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.

As usual we will be at the Stockholm High End Show this year. We will show the whole updated Heritage 2 Series together with electronics from Whest and Townsend and also maybe a surprise from CES 2014. Plus, we will show the brilliant Analog DAC and the Diamond DAC form MSB. Please come for a listen, it’ll be a lot of fun!

Excellent Duke 2 review!

the Duke 2’s are groundbreaking in their newfound lushness, major league detail retrieval, and sense of wondrous reality.

Many thanks to Robert H. Levi at Positive Feedback for this amazing review.
