Marten COLTRANE TENOR 2 Floorstanding Loudspeakers These are surely truly amazing speakers and i seriously thought i would keep these forever. I have all packaging and accessories that come with them. The current RRP is $179000 https://soundgallery.com.au/product/marten-coltrane-tenor-2-floorstanding-speakers/ They are seriously good pair of speakers. I can help with the transport and setting up if you are in Victoria. Thanks for looking please note that I am not a beggar and you aren't either . We are all grown up and know well enough not to make stupid offer to embarrass yourself( ie. $10k p
New, these sold around A$169,000, so A$75,000 is a very strong used-market price for a Coltrane Tenor 2—well below half of retail and squarely in bargain territory if the speakers are genuinely clean and complete. For a flagship Marten, that’s the kind of number that gets attention.
What makes them special is the core Marten recipe done at a very high level: diamond tweeter speed and air, excellent low-level detail, and that first-order, time-coherent presentation that makes imaging and timing so compelling. They’re also a rare, statement-grade speaker, so original crates, intact finishes, and documented ownership add real value. At this price, I’d just want to confirm driver health, crossover status, and whether all accessories and packing are included.
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.
