Offered is „Marten Parker Duo including Parker Stands“ by Marten Design as second-hand device from the category „Compact Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 706008887 ends on 21.12.2026 at 17:18 o'clock.
Marten’s Parker Duo stands are unusually purpose-built supports, not generic furniture, and EUR 10,500 is exceptionally ambitious. Current new pricing is around EUR 3,350 per pair, while the broader retail reference is roughly EUR 5,000 before conversion; there is no convincing evidence here of a used-market premium anywhere near this level. Unless this is a rare, complete package bundled with Parker speakers, pass or negotiate hard.
They are nevertheless worthwhile stands when correctly matched: heavy, rigid, beautifully finished, and designed to bolt the Duo securely to the support, with the dedicated geometry and isolation helping preserve the speaker’s timing and stability. For a clean pair with all fixing hardware, packaging, and no damage, a sensible used price should remain substantially below new retail—roughly EUR 2,000–2,700 depending on finish and availability. At EUR 10,500, rarity does not justify the asking price.

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.
