                                     STEREOPHILE CONCLUSIONS:



Like Karl Rove, the Mårten Design Coltrane is about attack, attack, and
more attack. Its ability to reproduce the piano's transient attack was
among its most notable achievements, and it did so without producing a
glassy or tinkly sonic aftertaste or shortchanging the instrument's rich
harmonic structure. Its other strong suits are clarity, focus,
transient snap, resolution of low-level detail, image
three-dimensionality, and, especially, transparency
.


Those who don't respond to the Coltrane's sound might find it a bit drab
or lacking in richness, romance, and bloom. Maybe so, but it does give
you the straight poop. It doesn't produce the most expansive soundstage
$50k can buy, and some other speakers might offer greater dynamic slam
and sheer sonic shock value, but the Coltrane's compact size makes it a
great fit in a room of modest size.


Then there's the issue of bass. The Coltrane's bottom-end extension is
formidable, but in my space at least, it was a bit loose; sometimes,
there was a one-note rolling roundness that announced "bass" rather than
the specific instrument producing it. That could be the way the speaker
couples with my room, but it's something worth listening for, lest the
impressive weight divert your attention until it's too late.


That caution aside, and taking into account the critical care with which
you must choose associated components, including cables—and, of course,
the speaker's high price—the Mårten Design Coltrane is the real McCoy. I
have a Jones for it. If it didn't cost so much that I'd need a Garrison
to guard me if I paid with cash, I'd consider buying a pair. Or a
quartet, for that matter.
