RE: Marten Speakers vs. AN

Posted by Frihed89 on January 10, 2017 at 07:29:01:
I've heard both the Marten Coletranes and Djangos on pretty high-end AN (UK) and SS amplification. They both sounded very good with both types of amplification and the Djangos were around $10,000 in those days. On both rigs, both these speakers were more truthful (and less "beautiful") than a pair of high-end AN(UK) Es, but still retained the heart and soul of SET amplification with the AN(UK)amplification. (But they actually sounded better (to my tastes) on a Lamm tube amp)!

Your main points are well-taken. I could afford neither, but had the luxury of living in a place with a friendly high-end seller.

More recently, I listened to the Djangos in Gotteborg, SE on different SS amps and loved them, there, too: very life-like, but very involving.
