Marten Parker Trio Floorstanding Loudspeakers Sorry Admin Please cancel this ad as my upgrade has been sold so I will keep my speaker!😪 Condition: As New / Mint Payment Method: Bank transfer before pickup Region/State: (NSW) New South Wales/Australia By LunA 0 Comments AUD $39,000 Date: November 3, 20241 yr
Marten’s Parker Trio sits in the serious end of the market, and A$39,000 for a like-new pair looks fair to slightly strong, not a bargain. New pricing around A$43,000 with stands is a useful anchor, while current retail examples at A$25,000 USD convert to roughly A$38,000 before local markup, so this asking is basically at the going-used-to-nearly-new level rather than a clear discount.
What makes it worth a look is the mix of ceramic-driver speed, 91 dB sensitivity, and that big, controlled, room-filling scale Marten does so well; the Parker Trio is widely regarded as delivering a lot of the brand’s high-end polish in a more attainable package. If it’s truly like new and includes the stands, crates, and all original accessories, that helps justify the number; at this price, I’d mainly be checking provenance, cosmetic perfection, and whether the full factory package is intact.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
