Marten - Oscar Duo Stand - Speaker Stands
Marten was founded in Gothenburg, Sweden in 1998 by Leif Marten Olsson, a musician who came to loudspeaker design from a listener's perspective rather than an engineer's. That origin shapes everything about the brand. Where many high-end speaker companies measure performance in terms of frequency response linearity and distortion figures, Marten measures it in terms of musical engagement — the capacity of a loudspeaker to communicate the emotional content of a performance, not merely its technical accuracy. The result is a range of speakers that audiophiles describe with words normally reserved for live music: present, alive, involving.
ENGINEERING PHILOSOPHY
Marten loudspeakers use diamond tweeters and ceramic midrange drivers — materials chosen for their exceptional stiffness, low mass, and near-perfect pistonic behaviour across their operating range. These drivers are expensive to manufacture and demanding to implement correctly, which is why relatively few speaker designers use them. Marten's crossover designs are developed to allow these exceptional drivers to work at their best, using air-core inductors and film capacitors that contribute no sonic signature of their own. The cabinet construction uses high-density MDF laminated with real wood veneers in a range of finishes, braced internally to eliminate resonance. The sonic character that emerges from all of this is not clinical or analytical — it is musical, with an effortless quality in the upper frequencies that makes long listening sessions genuinely pleasurable.
WHY THE AUDIO TAILOR CARRIES MARTEN
We carry Marten because our clients who love music — not just audio equipment — respond to these speakers in a way that is different from almost anything else we demonstrate. If you listen to a lot of live music, or if you play an instrument, you will understand immediately what Marten has achieved.
