From Marten Coltrane to Avalon Isis, Hansen King??


Hello all,

I am currently using a Marten Coltrane speaker in my fairly large living room and I do like the sound a lot. It is well known though that the bottom end isn't the Coltrane's strongest point especially in a big room.

I am curious if for instance the Avalon Isis and/or Hansen Emperor/King would be an improvement over my current speakers with respect to bass and overall sound?

Appreciate feedback from users that heard the Marten, Avalon and Hansen speakers.

Thanks a lot

The Avalon would be a improvement over what you have. The crossovers in the Avalons is what makes them so great. I went from Kharma Midi to Avalon Diamonds and it wasn't even close. The bass is also much cleaner with better definition. Avalon really make the best speakers in the world. Just look at how many pairs were used at CES this year.
