The Marten Coltrane Supremes

Just saw a copy of the review in HiFi+ of these speakers by Roy Gregory. Thanks mystery friend :-)

Haven’t read the whole thing, but I like where he pointed out the intimate presentation (my words) of these speakers.

The Triolons were larger-than-life, which is not necessarily speaking about the soundstage size, but the overall ‘feeling’ of the presentation. A kind of impersonal presentation. I always felt like an honored guest at the musical event.

The Supremes presentation is more intimate, like the musicians are playing for ME. Much more personal.

I do not think this has to do with their relative size. There are many small speakers that are very impersonal. Some of them make one feel like an unwelcome intruder… :-)

    Hi Jeff,

    I talked about this in my last response to your comment. Is there something specific sonically you are interested in in hearing about?

    Take care,
    -Mike
