I've only listened to the Marten Dukes. As you have known, these are little bookshelf speakers so they won't produce deep visceral bass well compared to floorstanders like the Thiel 2.4SE. They have ceramic tweeters and the treble has a distinctive sound, very clean, detailed and extended. Timing and slam is definitely good with the Marten Dukes. They don't need great power and your Pass monoblocks would do fine .
Thiel 2.4Special Edition or Marten Form/Dukes?
I imagine no one has ever compared Marten speakers to Thiel, but if those who have heard either independently please respond! I am interested in the new SE edition of the 2.4 from Thiels as well as the new Marten Form floor speakers or even the Marten Dukes.
Looking for deep bass impact (I know each is slightly below 40hz and realize they wont fill massive rooms), detailed and transparent sound. Enjoy rock music with slam, timing and bass you can feel in the chest (I know they all go not so deep). Will be driving with Pass XA60.5 monoblocks that go to 120 watts in 4 ohms. Thanks for suggestions.
