Marten has unveiled the Marten Coltrane Supreme Extreme loudspeakers – the most advanced speaker system ever created by the Swedish manufacturer. Four towers and specially designed drivers are not all, the system is packed to the brim with innovations. For example, it uses the largest beryllium midrange driver in the history of acoustics, Crystalid drivers for lower midrange, a monocoque carbon fiber cabinet with wood and aluminum reinforcement.
It takes more than 800 hours to make each pair of Coltrane Supreme Extreme speakers. The internal wiring, of course, is done with Jorma Paragon cables. An 1” diamond tweeter, a 3” diamond HF/MF driver, a 7” beryllium MF driver, 4 x 8” Crystalid lower midrange drivers, 5 x 10” aluminum sandwich bass drivers, 10 x 10” aluminum sandwich passive radiators and first-order crossovers – meet the king!
The recommended retail price of the Marten Coltrane Supreme Extreme is €950,000.

Marten has released the Marten Coltrane Quintet Extreme loudpeakers – relatively compact acoustics that adopt the solutions of the flagship, the Marten Coltrane Supreme Extreme model.
DALI has released the top subwoofer DALI V-16 F – the model has become the culmination of the company's developments in the field of low frequency reproduction. The heart of the sub is the latest 16” driver, which is equipped with a T-shaped ventilated pole piece to ensure symmetrical distribution of magnetic flux through the voice coil. The ventilation hole in this tip expands at both ends, providing turbulent air flow, while two Faraday rings suppress flow modulation.
Warwick Acoustics has released the top-of-the-line electrostatic headphone system Aperio GoldenSound Signature Edition. The project was the result of collaboration between Warwick Acoustics and British expert GoldenSound – as a result, the already luxurious Aperio model received a new interpretation with an even clearer and more emotional sound.
KLH Audio has introduced the flagship KLH Audio Model Seven loudspeakers – the model rethinks the company’s favorite principle of acoustic suspension, with which the brand’s history began in 1957.
CH Precision has announced the CH Precision D10 Reference Transport with an innovative laser mechanism MORSE (Mechanically Optimized Reading & Stability Enhancement). The transport itself is placed on a suspended platform of a complex design, equipped with a brass core to suppress vibrations. The transport weighs a record 13 kg and rests on alpha-gel isolators.
