It's an interesting thing - taste - I have heard the Coltrane and Mingus and I didn't hear what you heard with them. I've only heard Marten twice but I wasn't stopped in my tracks to want to go deeper. I didn't hear them with either Lamm or AN though. I believe it was Cary at one show - and I'd have to check my notes as the other front end.
AudioFederation which carried Audio Note and Marten no longer carry Marten.

Yes, my preferences are all over the place, zinging back and forth between truth and imagination. I am frequently seduced by truth, but have never really been unfaithful to imagination.
Yes, Audio Federation got shafted by Marten, according to Neli. Did they ever find a place to buy in California? I haven't kept up.
Yes the rumour is a high roller Buyer auditioned via the folks at AF--
and purchased direct from Marten
Tsk Tsk very naughty!
D
Very naughty on the part of Marten.

Ah so it wasn't the sound that made them drop the brand then? They were really big on Marten for a long time...
What..? you were hoping Richard would have said something .. :)
Of course he wanted it to look like they dropped marten because ANs are Soo good.
Well there is more than just sonic reasons to buy a product.If a company is shady with their own dealer/importer then they probably have no compunctions over being shady with their customers.
My sentence was:
"AudioFederation which carried Audio Note and Marten no longer carry Marten"Simply a statement of fact.
Dealers don't always carry products they think sound better. They carry products that customers wish to buy and which sell in enough numbers to keep them in business.
Dealers don;t always get their first choice either - they may want to sell something but the product is already being sold by a dealer in their region - tough luck - have to carry something else.

Sure and if one can sell a loudspeaker wirh a 600.00 build cost for 25K guess which one becomes number one ....

Still requires a buyer now doesn't it. I don't subscribe to the notion that everyone with money is a moron.
And if you have to cost sheets please provide it.
Well , you have heard the AN speakers , so you know how good and being Audio, there's a sound for everyone .
