    Marten Mingus Septet speakers

    I received my Mingus Septet Statement Edition towards end of December 2023. They are pretty much burnt in by now. Sounds very transparent, detailed and dynamic. Transient response is super fast with deep low bass. Pipe organ low frequencies were reproduced with authority, vocal is thick with...

    That is good. Did you have to special order for the flight cases for the Septet? I thought they originally come in wooden boxes?

    Your Mingus Septet also arrived? Are they in flight cases or paper boxes?

    Maybe Marten can custom make a walnut piano finish for you!

    Marten Mingus Septet speakers

    My Mingus Septet should be coming in about 2 weeks time. I have not heard the Septet, but my friends who listened to them at the Munich Highend Show said they are very good - quite a bit better than the Quintet.

    Marten Mingus Septet speakers

    The Coltrane series models all have carbon fibre cabinets. The Mingus series use specially selected, medium-density fibreboard with optimum rigidity to create high-quality, resonance-free cabinets. The original Mingus Quintet MK I have a choice of polished walnut piano finish or piano black...

    The new Marten Mingus Septet speakers was launched during the 2023 Highend Munich Show. Delivery of the Septet has started already. Has anyone received the Septet speakers? What are your listening experience so far.

    MSB Discrete upgrade - add Director or go to the Premier

    I would suggest you get the Reference DAC with the analog output volume control and analog input for your turntable signal. Compare the Premier with the Reference DAC, if you can.

    Vitus SM-103 MK.II new mono blocks

    The SM-103 MK.II have higher resolution and less warm sounding than the SS-103. The sound signature of the SM-103 MK.II is closer to the sound of SIA-030 and Masterpiece MP-S201 - less mellow and warm.

    Marten Mingus Quintet 2 speakers

    Sorry, I have not been to my friend's place to listen to the Mingus Twenty yet. Will do that one day. But maybe difficult to compare due to different system setup. But some friends said that the MQ2 is better than the Twenty.

    Marten Mingus Quintet 2 speakers

    Yes, thank you @gentcan. I wanted to use my MSB Reference DAC's constant impedance preamp module to drive a power amplifier directly. I waited a bit and saw a chance to get the new SM-103 MK.II monoblocks which are a natural upgrade to the SIA-030 integrated amplifier. So far, it has been...
