In the new Absolute Sound I see an ad for the new Marten Coltrane Supreme 11. The old model was either loved and proclaimed the best ever ( I have a couple of a'phile friends who swear it is the best) or was decried as being bloated and ill-defined and too analytical. ( I have never heard it, BUT I believe Steve and a few others have....not to their liking).
Anyhow, we have some new hyperbole in this ad..."Simply, the Coltrane Supreme 2 has a sound quality so genuine that in our state-of-the-art studio, distinguishing between recorded music and reality is not possible".
Accuton ( the driver manufacturer) has in partnership apparently developed a new driver for this speaker that has "incredibly low distortion, in the magnitude of electronic devices, even at high levels"
Then: " The carbon fibre sandwich cabinets are the most rigid and resonance free ever produced"
The result...The new Master!
No mention of price
