Re: A visit to Marten speakers (Sweden)
Thanks for the report Marcus.
The main listening space of 80 sqM certainly looks impressive.
I immediately recognized the SMT room treatments.
As you mention in your report, how we experience Marten products may be very different in our homes or more ordinary listening spaces.
Who do you see as being Martens main competitors?Borresen Acoustics Loudspeakers, Borresen Model 01 Compact monitor loudspeakers with Ansuz Darkz T2s Supreme resonance control, Audio Video Manufaktur GmbH (AVM) Inspiration amplifier & streamer, Innuos Zen MKII music server, Ansuz Acoustics cables & accessories. Please visit my system thread hosted on Audioshark for more details. Disclosure: The author is materially connected to Ansuz, Aavik & Borresen Acoustics via friendship with an owner.

Re: A visit to Marten speakers (Sweden)
There are of course a lot of competition on this level. Tidal is often mentioned where there are quite a few similarities in terms of concept, drivers used historically (Accuton) etc. Other than that we're looking at the usual suspects (Wilson, Magico, Kharma, Raidho, Borresen, Stenhem, Rockport etc.)

I heard their speakers at a dealer recently. They were nice.

You should ask your dealer to bring the CH stuff he wants to sell you for home audition in your system. IMO there is no way to tell what will sound better in your system.
