Why we dropped Marten Design and Jorma Design

Why we dropped Marten Design and Jorma Design

In our opinion they have made excellent products in the past, but our experience is that they make extremely poor business partners.

[To those of you looking for Marten and Jorma price lists, we apologize; we no longer display prices for these brands anymore. As one of their earliest dealers and most fervent and public supporters for almost 10 years (featuring our demo $350K Marten Coltrane Supreme speakers and Jorma Prime cables in our rooms at tradeshows many times) there is still a ton of information about Marten Design speakers and Jorma Design cables on our website – you just need to rummage around a bit].

Finally got the Audio Note AN/E SPe HE speakers setup…

A little changing of the guard in our second listening room. The $9288 per pair Audio Note AN/E SPe HE speakers taking over music duties for awhile from the around $73K AN/E SEC Signature speakers.

Sounds great! So immediate and musical…

We have always liked these high-efficiency hemp-driver ‘little E’ speakers, as Neli calls them. Nice finish on these, and this burl in matte finish has no up-charge associated with it [so she tells me].

The setup at the window end of the room. Can’t show you the other side, it is a complete mess of gear and cables all over the place [but it looks better than it did yesterday. Ugh.]

This room is being overrun with Audio Note gear … [ 🙂 ]
