Marten Coltrane Tenor 2 Review: A Symphony of Precision and Passion

Marten Coltrane Tenor 2 Review: A Symphony of Precision and Passion

In the realm of high-end audio, few names evoke as much reverence as Marten. Today, we're diving deep into the Marten Coltrane Tenor 2 review, a floorstanding speaker that promises to redefine your auditory experience. As audiophiles and hi-fi enthusiasts, we at The Audio Tailor are thrilled to explore this masterpiece of sound engineering that seamlessly blends power, control, and elegant design.

Unveiling the Sonic Marvel

The Coltrane Tenor 2 is not just a speaker; it's a testament to Marten's commitment to audio excellence. Building upon the legacy of its predecessors, this model packs extraordinary performance into a more compact, room-friendly design. It's a perfect solution for those seeking top-tier sound quality without overwhelming their living space.

Key Features That Set It Apart

  • 3-Way Bass Reflex System: Experience bass like never before, with depth and precision that will make your favourite tracks come alive.
  • First Order Crossover: Enjoy perfect time and phase coherence, resulting in a seamless audio experience across all frequencies.
  • Accuton Cell Drivers: These premium drivers deliver unparalleled clarity, ensuring every nuance of your music is faithfully reproduced.
  • Jorma Cables: High-quality internal wiring that enhances overall audio purity, leaving no detail unheard.
  • Carbon Fibre Cabinets: Not just a visual treat, these ergonomic cabinets minimise resonance for acoustic precision.

Diamond Tweeters: The Crown Jewel of High-Frequency Sound

At the heart of the Coltrane Tenor 2's high-frequency reproduction are its diamond tweeters. Made from the purest diamond, these tweeters offer an unmatched stiffness-to-weight ratio and superior heat conductivity. The result? Minimal harmonic distortion and a crystal-clear soundstage that will transport you to the recording studio.

Ceramic Midrange: Where Natural Sound Thrives

The ceramic midrange drivers, crafted from hard ceramic (Sapphire), provide high internal damping and minimal distortion. This is where the magic happens - voices and instruments come to life with a clarity that will send shivers down your spine.

Aluminium Sandwich Bass Drivers: Deep and Distortion-Free

The Cell bass drivers, constructed from an Aluminium sandwich honeycomb, deliver a bass performance that's both dynamic and rich. Whether you're listening to a thunderous orchestral piece or a bass-heavy electronic track, you'll experience low frequencies with extraordinarily low distortion levels.

Craftsmanship That Speaks Volumes

Carbon Fibre Cabinets

More than just a visual statement, the carbon fibre cabinets are strong, lightweight, and virtually resonance-free. This ensures that what you hear is pure, unadulterated sound - just as the artist intended.

Premium Internal Wiring

Utilising Jorma Design cables, the internal wiring of the Coltrane Tenor 2 is a testament to Marten's no-compromise approach to sound quality.

IsoAcoustics Feet

These specially designed feet ensure cabinet isolation from the floor, reducing resonance and enhancing overall sound clarity. It's details like these that elevate the Coltrane Tenor 2 from excellent to extraordinary.

Crossover: Tailored Perfection

The crossover system in the Coltrane Tenor 2 is a work of art in itself. Tailored to work flawlessly with Accuton Cell drivers, it ensures that all audio registers are produced simultaneously, creating an audio experience that's as close to live music as you can get in your living room.

Statement Edition: For the Ultimate Audiophile
