We recommended the use of the burn-in track (CD/USB) to speed up this process. Due to the high-tech materials used in the drivers, Coltrane Supreme 2 may sound a bit harsh at first. After approximately 50 hours of playing your loudspeakers will sound much better.
We recommend using an amplifier with sufficient power: typically a minimum of 60 watts. On the back of each Coltrane Supreme 2 cabinet, you will find two pairs of WBT Nextgen terminals that will accept any standard connections.
Room acoustics A good listening room has just the right amount of reflection and absorption. The performance of any loudspeaker depends on the speaker’s location in the room and the acoustic conditions in that part of the room. Furnishings, size and proportions all affect tonal balance, imaging and bass characteristics.
Rear and side walls For the best results, Coltrane Supreme 2 should be no closer than 80cm (31.5”) from the rear wall. Marten loudspeakers should not be placed close to a side wall, as reflections from these can disturb the depth of the sound image.
There are also three tracks purely for your listening pleasure; these were recorded in our studio in Gothenburg, Sweden. You can also download these files from marten.se/audiofiles 1. Burn-in track* 2. The Look Of Love** - Jeanette Lindström & Steve Dobrogosz 3. Blue In Green - Tommy Kotter...
