I have heard the Marten Djangos XL when they first came in to the US market. They sounded splendid! I love the fullness and richness of sound they portrayed with such ease. However, there were the Coltrane Tenors sitting right next to them in the same setup. The combination of a diamond tweeter and that accuton midrange in the Tenors was really something special. The Bird 2 have the same midrange and tweeter which have a more sophisticated mid and top end compared to the Django. Hence, I went with them. Marten has never designed a mediocre speaker from what I've heard from them over the years.
You have clearly chosen an EXCELLENT speaker my friend. Enjoy!

Thanks! Me too  There is a "rightness" about his sound that I seem to really enjoy and savor.
