I like the sound of this loudspeaker (MARTEN ) but I'm not like their price ... 79 000 Euros (!)

I liked both Marten rooms ...

Marten Room with Coltrane Tenor 2

Engstrom Room with Marten Coltrane 3

For Marten...

To be fair the show is for high end ... but yes prices for top end audio is getting higher and higher

In the Marten room - the Engstrom The Eric monoblocks are Euro 150k for a pair.
The MSB Select II DAC $96k ....

I know, I just don´t understand. Could also be of my political opinions.


Yes I did as did others. Mike has shared some videos as well.
IMO a very well presented room - excellent choice of music.

The small Raidhos sounded absolutely huge.

The small Raidho speakers are really great but they are not my cup of tea. But might be an ideal speaker for me.

Symphonic Line was in Hall 3 with a passive display.
New for the show was the two box Preamplifier and the new Integrated.

The top of the line integrated amp the Kraftwerk mk3 ref is my current unobtainable dream amp.

Trust me they are only small in size. Those baby Raidhos sounded like they were ten feet tall.

The top of the line integrated amp the Kraftwerk mk3 ref is my current unobtainable dream amp.

They are built like tanks. Wait for one to come in the second sale market.
Fantastic amps on the whole.

The only knock on them would be Rolf Gemein himself - he's getting a little older now.
When I visited the booth he didn't even bother to get off his chair while I was talking to him.


On the issue of prices - this being Munich High End, most exhibits from major brands in the Atrium area were all out assaults on the state of the art. The lower end models were mostly as passive displays.

Great gear, but honestly speaking I found the Solution/ Rockport combo too sharp in the highs. Especially when compared to the Brinkman/ Vandersteen room next door.

Yes, Gauder RC8's. I think others should comment. It's not my cup of tea.

Hi Mike. thanks for your comments. Since nobody is really commenting I'd like to ask a bit more. What exactly isn't your cup of tea? The overall sound of the demo set-up, the Gauder speaker sound? The Audionet sound (which is much like Soulution as most say) or the design. Although I think that the new amplifier design is way better thank the old (mine).

In the past you said you did like the pre-amp at least..... so it might be another factor.

Hi Hans - I heard it at Blink Hi End in Boston and it was excellent. I still have other products to hear before I decide on anything. But the DNP was very good

Hi Glareskin,

I listened not all.

First one is : Avant Garde but 280 000 Euros ... just the loudsepakers (including sub ).
Second : MARTEN Coltrane
Third : Vivid Audio with CH+

Special mention for the little TOCARA. ( 2800 Euros for the two loudspeakers)

I didn't like demontrastion of Totem, Wilson Audio(what a pity !), Eggletonwork, Gader, Cabasse and many others...like Burmester...or PMC (!)...not musical, and perhaps volume is too high...Esoteric with BW is very analytical.

The demonstration failed because I didn't recognize the voice of Elvis Presley ( musical file and not CD ) : ''Love me tender''...It's a bad demonstration !!!!
