Re: Marten Audio demo/listening room
In my ears this is a great improvement over their previous room. That was too lean and "dead" in my ears. Here they have allowed a slightly richer base and a longer decay time. This gives the music...

Will hopefully run them together... -

Re: Aurender N10
Thanks Mike that's great news. Do you know if 4 TB is the full capacity or is it 2 + 2 TB in a Raid set up (resulting in 2 TB of efficient storage)?
