The Lady & I listened to the Marten Bird 2 today driven by Vitus Audio with a McIntosh MCD1100 source. Beautifully deep & expansive soundstage especially in the mids & a nice crisp & tight upper range. Upper bass response was good, lower bass was a little loose & lacked the presence compared to what I am used to with the Dali Grands.
The listening room's rear wall was a little reflective however, which may have contributed to the muddy bass.
The price point is In between & a stretch into the Coltrane territory would no doubt be a more gratifying investment IMO.
