Marten Coltrane Alto speakers. I regard these little known speakers as in
the top 4 of the best stand mount speakers ever made. They were full
range speakers which incl: a 9" down-firing Accuton, 5" Accuton
midrange & 1" Accuton tweeter in an elyptical shaped carbon
sandwich construction monococ cabinet, with a heavy polished stainless
steel integrated stand & plinth with adjustable Black Diamond cabon racing
cones. The Alto's sounded amazingly pure and fast, with solid bass when
paired with a big ss amp like Boulder. They could be bi-wired or bi-amped.
The speakers could be placed close to rear walls thanks to their design &
did the disappearing act very well. They also threw a quite holographic
soundstage. The tuning was just right actually. The Altos are way
underrated speakers & a steal if you can find a pair in good shape in their
original boxes.
