Our Thoughts RADAR AI

Against the recent Australian comps, A$11,000 sits well above the median A$9,672 and clears the 75th percentile at A$9,739, so this is an ambitious asking price rather than a fair-market bargain. It’s not wildly out of line for a sought-after pair, but at this level you’d want either standout condition, provenance, or extras to justify the premium.

The upside here is that these are respected high-end speakers with the sort of scale, refinement, and bass authority that keep them desirable on the used market. If the cabinets, drivers, and original packaging are all clean, a well-kept pair can be a very satisfying long-term buy. At A$11,000, though, I’d only move if the seller can show honest condition and complete accessories; otherwise there’s room to negotiate.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Marten

Marten, a prestigious Swedish loudspeaker manufacturer, traces its roots to 1998 when Leif Mårten Olofsson founded the company, originally named Mårten Design. A trained electronics engineer with a lifelong passion for speaker design—sparked in his teens building prototypes in the family garage—Olofsson's breakthrough came from discovering Accuton’s ceramic diaphragm drivers in the mid-1990s. Now a family-run enterprise led by three Olofsson brothers—Leif as chief designer, Jörgen as CEO, and Lars as art director—the brand shortened its name to Marten in 2007 to reflect its evolving sophistication.

Exclusively focused on high-performance loudspeakers, Marten specializes in floorstanding models renowned for their fidelity and visceral sound reproduction. Iconic lines like the Mingus (the debut two-way design), Coltrane Supreme (introduced in 2006 as their most powerful system), and later evolutions such as the Coltrane Supreme 2 (2014) and Supreme Extreme flagship employ cutting-edge materials including pure ceramic and diamond cones, beryllium drivers, and innovative tweeters like the CELL. Hand-built with meticulous research, these speakers prioritize recreating recordings with uncolored accuracy, vanishing into the music rather than dominating the room.

Positioned firmly in the high-end audiophile market, Marten commands a niche boutique reputation for ultimate sonic perfection, distributed in around 30 countries and celebrated by discerning listeners worldwide. Models like the 2018 Mingus 20 anniversary edition underscore their heritage of technical innovation and emotional impact, appealing to buyers seeking reference-level transparency and dynamism in home audio systems.
