Coltrane 3

What is the biggest change between the Marten 3's and the Tenors? Have you ever used valve amps with the ceramic drivers.

The c3s disappear better than the tenors and the soundstage is deeper, wider and more layered. The bass is also deeper.

Since you've asked the question I've replaced all the solid state with valve monos and a valve preamp. To my ears at least it sounds way more more musical and natural with real texture although I've lost some bass.

What an amazing setup! Can’t get my eyes off from this pair of C3s. Soooo nice.
