Marten Duke

Marten Duke from the Heritage series – very beautifully crafted speaker. It is a 2-way system, with a 7” ceramic bass/mid-range driver, coupled to a 1” ceramic tweeter. It’s a perfect start-up for Marten fans. Bladelius amplifiers and sources are used.

Bladelius Embla media player

A notebook is used as the digital source, connected to the Bladelius Embla media player. The special thing about Embla is that it uses flash memory as storage instead of a spinning hard disc. It can be upgraded from 64GB to 2TB.

Marten Heritage Bird

Another Marten based system, next door to the Bladelius + Marten setup. Not sure if this is the Heritage Bird or Getz – anyone can help out here? I’ve expensive taste! I actually prefer this setup over the Bladelius + Marten Duke combo. Kudos to the exhibitor here – I find that the sound is quite to my likings, relaxed sound, deep bass, nice mids.

Close up on the Vitus Audio gears on display. I really admire their neat and tidy layout, not to forget the good build quality and good sound coming out from the system.
