Coltrane 3 SE review in Audio Art

We don’t know about you, but we love a good review, especially when it’s complimentary. Here’s another from Audio Art — this time for Coltrane 3 SE (Statement Edition).

Our people over at Soundray, Taiwan are confident about the review, and from what we’ve read, it is pretty favourable.  Here’s a short excerpt translated by Google.

“Let me start by saying that the Coltrane 3 SE’s sound performance is complete. Impress your body! Coltrane 3 SE has a very dense sound, High, transient response is fast, transparency is very high, empty. The feeling is very good. The contours of instruments and vocals are very stereo, high frequency, mid frequency and low frequency. Distinctive and refreshing features, the analysis of the string group is very powerful. The low-frequency soft Q is full, condensed and elastic, and the resolution is very strong. Quantity is very rich.“

Parker Trio review in Twittering Machines

It feels like Parker Trio has hit the ground running in this glowing review from Twittering Machines. The reviewer, Michael Lavorgna shows a sensitivity and understanding of Parker Trio that makes us feel heard. Or at least Parker Trio does 😉

“Parker Trio are simply stunning in their ability to replace their physical presence with the members of the band.”

“Parker Trio delivered every pluck and thrum so fully formed the bass felt more real than the speakers. “

His description of the music really describes Parker Trio’s ability to disappear in the soundstage, leaving a direct connection with the music.

“…Parker Trio consistently stepped aside, letting music move to the fore.”

There’s much more in this review, so we do recommend you have a read – it makes us want to sit down and listen to Parker Trio again ourselves. Many thanks to Michael Lavorgna of Twittering Machines; we hope to feel worthy.

“The Marten Parker Trio impress with an uncanny sense of accuracy and ease, offering a stunning combination of strengths that pay homage to whatever music you send their way.”

A big thanks to Roy of Vana Ltd for sharing this with us.

Parker Trio review in U Audio

Sometimes you want to experience something again. Is it because it triggered an emotional response that you want to feel again? Or maybe you just want to check what you heard before was true.

Wen·Dai Tiankai has listened to Parker Trio not once, not twice, but three times. And his review of Parker Trio for U Audio, is thorough, precise and very very positive.

Here are a few quotes.

“The audio and video reproduced by Parker Trio is really clear, it is like a 4K high-resolution high-contrast picture, not only the lines and outlines are clear, but also many, many details, high brightness and high contrast, revealing those layers.”

“For listening to large-scale orchestral music, such a system is of course also wonderful.”

“… its sound is open, energetic and dynamic. The piano is the king of instruments, and when it comes to recreating piano music, the Parker Trio is enough to recreate the grandeur of the piano.”

“… I met Marten Parker Trio three times within three months, and every time I listened to it, it made me linger. It’s moderately proportioned, but has a larger scale and wider dynamics than imagined. Its sound is precise, natural, and well-balanced, allowing the most serious music lover to look at the heart of music. Exquisite and simple design, good-looking and durable, standard “High WAF” speakers.”

Thanks to U Audio and Wen·Dai Tiankai.

High End Munich 2022

After a break of two years, we’re delighted to announce a return to High End Munich 2022 on 19th – 22nd May.

As one of the most anticipated events in the high end audio calendar, this year is even more special. We look forward to seeing many of our clients and associates again.

This year, we premier Mingus Quintet 2, our newest model. We’re excited to present this in Munich, as the show has great international exposure, offering many the opportunity to hear what we’ve been up to.

The last two years have been strong for our Parker series, with awards and acclaim coming from many places. So we’ll be bringing Parker Quintet, Parker Trio and Parker Duo to the party.

We hope to see you there.
