Angeboten wird „Django L“ von Marten Design als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Standlautsprecher“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 3729605283 endet am 09.09.2026 um 06:23 Uhr.
The Marten Django L loudspeakers originally retailed new for around EUR 12,000-15,000 a pair back when current, positioning this €4,000 asking price as fair but on the ambitious side for a good-condition used set. Typical used market values hover in the EUR 3,000-4,500 range for clean examples without major cosmetic wear or driver issues, depending on finish and serial date—bargains occasionally dip under EUR 3,500 if original boxes are included. At €4,000, it's not a steal unless provenance is impeccable, but inflation and scarcity could justify it over lowballers.
Buyers should verify driver surrounds and foam for degradation—common in these 10-15-year-old Martens from humidity exposure—and test the crossover for haze or intermittent highs, a known weak point. Insist on original grilles, spikes, and manual; missing bits tank resale by 20%. Probe the seller on service history to dodge hidden rebuild costs.
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.
