Coltrane Momento 2 & Mingus Twenty

Launching this May in Munich High End: Coltrane Momento 2 and Mingus Twenty.

Coltrane Momento 2 has all the upgraded detail such as first order crossover and Cell technology. It completes the Coltrane Series. 

Mingus Twenty is a celebration of our twenty years in High-End audio. Mingus was the first speaker our chief designer Leif Olofsson developed into production and now he created a new model in the same spirit, in a limited edition of 20 pairs.

We are having a sneak preview this week in Gothenburg celebrating our anniversary and launching two new CDs: Carousel with Rhythm Art Duo and Violin & Marimba with Duo Granmo-Berg.

There was a great party yesterday with live music from many of the artists of the albums including Daniel Berg, Tobias Granmo, Fredrik Duvling and Matti Ollikainen. 

Happy New Year!

A slightly belated greeting but this is a very special year for us. It is 20 years since our founder finalised the design of his first official Marten speaker; Mingus.

We are looking forward to an exciting year with lots of events and new developments.

Mingus Quintet and Jorma Design review

These speakers really are something special. They’re clear, open and dynamic but also lusciously smooth and relaxed, with a highly convincing natural tonality and deep, powerful bass. 

Now that’s a quote worth boasting about. This is Christian Punter from HiFi magazine HiFi-Advice in a review of our Mingus Quintet and Jorma Design No.3 and Origo cables.

Check it out here!

Our room in Munich

Welcome to The Munich High End Show 2016!

The room has been full pretty much all the time and we’ve had so much great feedback. A lot of mentions of having the best sound at the show.

And here’s the world premiere for our brand new speaker: Mingus Quintet!

Pretty handsome isn’t it:)

As usual we use Solid Tech benches for the electronics

with the latest DAC from MSB – Select DAC II

and the MSB Signature Transport

To get nice and pure electricity, we have a GigaWatt Power Conditioner.

And this is what we use for most of the music playing, the Aurender Hard Disk Player

All the Amps come from Analog Domain, great in combination with Mingus Quintet.

Mingus Quintet with the same mid driver and tweeter as in Coltrane Supreme 2.

All cables are from Jorma Design as usual.

Analog Domain Artemis.

There’s also a Mingus Quintet in walnut in the other corner of the room,

And at last the new brochures arrived, straight from the printer. Better late than never. Check it out here.

Something’s going on…
