A spy in Martens headquarter...me! New Coltrane Supreme II

[Apexorca]

Now it's official. Marten Coltrane Supreme II is going to CES 2014.
Pass Labs, MSB, Bergmann and Jorma cables and some acoustic treatments will be used.
Now I'm allowed to show more pics:

Leif, Marten Coltranes Supreme II's father together with Dirk from Accuton are just ready with the final treatment of this speaker.



And after this I'v got a lecture of the technic behind these speaker and of course we listened to some wonderful music. The best reproduced music I ever heard.

Thanks for the update and nice pics
The speaker is looking very good

Some more photos...

That is one radical looking speaker...I wonder why they went with the offset array of rear bass drivers? The wider rear cabinet profile also eschews traditional methods of reducing diffraction and improving imaging.

Oh they look so nice and I am sure they will sound really good.. I have heard Bird driven by Vitus, oh sounded so lovely. But the Momento was bottomed out very badly on drum tracks, also driven by same Vitus giant 50W class A amp. How much is the Supreme II ? Toga
