Marten Coltrane 3 at Axpona

We are being talked about after showing the mighty Coltrane 3 at Axpona last weekend.

Coltrane 3

really nice warm sound and huge soundstage

Jason Victor Serinus – Stereophile

dark rich color, superb focus, sledgehammer dynamics, and a very wide soundstage

Peter, Paul and Mary’s “Very Last Day” gave me goosebumps

Multipak report

Last weekend we had a fantastic time in Croatia. Our distributor Slobodan from BM made us feel real welcome to the well renowned boutique hifi show Multipak in sunny Pakrac.

And finally, The Room!

It took a while but finally we could find a moment to post this. All of the diffusors were delivered at midnight the night before the show so the room wasn’t ready until just a couple of hours before the show opened! Such a great feeling to do the final touches after so much hard and stressful work.

Marten Coltrane Supreme 2

The Coltrane Supreme 2 really sound absolutely fantastic.

“Before anything else,

preparation is the key to success”

said Alexander Graham Bell, perhaps the worlds first audiophile. Preparing is exactly what we’re doing these days yet another time at the CES Show 2014 in glorious Las Vegas. There’s a lot work left but tomorrow the preparation should be done.

Venetian corridor

We will get back to you soon, with more stuff from it all.

Cheers
