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.

The decoupling system for acoustic systems and equipment WELLFLOAT Delta Extreme II offers a unique solution for vibration control. The model is based on a multi-stage pendulum system – similar to those used in physics to detect gravitational waves.
The Hegel H150 integrated amplifier has been announced – the model will replace the well-known Hegel H120. The new model will offer a power of 2 x 75 W with a damping factor of 2,000 – that is, there are simply no complex acoustic systems for the device. In addition, the Hegel H150 is equipped with a built-in phono preamplifier and an advanced streamer.
Speakers of the SV Audio (Storgaard & Vestskov) GRO company are a classic two-way solution and are recommended for use in rooms from 15 to 60 m2. The model does not require high input power - the talents of the acoustics are revealed already with 25-watt amplification, since the sensitivity reaches 90 dB.
The new Voxativ Alberich² Metal speakers are a development of the well-known Voxativ Alberich² model – only designed in aluminum forged housings. The acoustics consist of two modules – Voxativ Hagen² Metal monitors, using AF-2A AlNiCo Magnet broadband drivers and Voxativ Alberich² Metal low-frequency units.
PULA has released new in-ear headphones PULA Unicrom – the model uses one broadband driver with a 10 mm diaphragm with a beryllium coating. Usually headphones with such drivers are quite expensive, but the company has already launched sales at an affordable retail price of $79.99!
