"Bien sur" in two words, not in one like you just spelled it in your last post from the prior page.

Moi je suis parfait bilingue. ...Un vrai de vrai Canadien Francais. :b

Vancouver... on est loin du Quebec cher cousin! En tous cas, c'est un plaisir de lire la langue de Molière ici.

Do you already give up?

An indication: cabinet = carbon, woofers = ceramic, tweeter = diamond

It's just that today I am not particularly up to it (researching with verve).

* Marten loudspeakers? ...Which model? ...Not the Marten Coltrane Tenor?

Hello Jazzhead,

Are you a Marten's owner to??

About amps, I had tried the NF Ref 18, then Vitus and finally Goldmund Telos: I kept them!

By the way, is there a Marten thread at WBF?

Thanks,
DV

Hi DejaVu , Yes the Coltrane 2 with Vitus DAC , pre , power . Are you still running the Vitus(as in the pic) or have gone with the Goldmund . What cables are you using ? No, I am afraid there is no Marten sub-forum @WBF , not enough members I suspect . Best ... Jazzhead

Well, if I go Marten, might as well go all the way, no? ;) ...Then I went Tenor.

* Yes, I love Marten speakers, and yours are splendid! ...The only problem though is that I can only refer to them as from the reviews I read over the years, and to their delicious pictures; The Abso!ute Sound & all.
- Never had the privilege of meeting them in person, helas!

No, but it should now. ...If Steve is reading this he'll take care of it I'm sure.

* By the way Deja vu, that picture above, the floor, the lines running on it, it is truly eerie to me as it's deja vu, no pun intended and I kid you not!

** Your Marten speakers are one of my top favorite speaker's designs of the entire world; they are truly gorgeous; aesthetically, externally and internally, practically (intelligent phase/form design), and using some of the best and nicest material available. ...I bet they sound truly magical!
You bet! ...Marten deserves its own forum section! ...Here at WBF.
