Christmas came early

There’s only a few weeks to go and the excitement is building at Marten HQ. Las Vegas CES 2013 is just around the corner. (Oh, and there’s Christmas too).

We’re launching two new models at the CES – Django L and Coltrane Tenor.

Yes, that’s right – Django L is here! Following in response to last year’s success, Django XL, we had to build this. We’re really happy with the result. In fact it’s exceeded our expectations. This one is 2-way, with bass units from Norwegian SEAS and tweeter from Accuton.

We’re really proud of Coltrane Tenor too. It has newly designed bass units and we think it sounds great.

We had a sneak preview in our hometown of Gothenburg as we talked about in our previous post, but the world premiere will be at the CES. We hope you can visit us in Las Vegas, but if not, just follow all the action here.

We’ll be right back with even more stuff.

New Django XL test

Many thanks to Sven Bilen at Swedish Ljud&Bild for a brilliant test of our Django XL.

It sounds amazingly right with a very large soundstage and both body and soul.

Six out of six stars, not bad eh? 🙂

Django XL review in Stereophile

Marten’s Django XL gave me the best sound I have ever heard in my room. Highly recommended.

Super review

Yet another great review of Django XL in the Taiwanese audio magazine Audio Art. We had a bit translated and one of the sentences went something like “We can’t even imagine a competitor to Marten Django XL”

If you understand the language, you can download a pdf of the review here.

Thank you very much:)

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.
