Demo! | Store display! | In nieuwstaat! Marten oscar duo + stands de marten oscar duo combineert hoogwaardige techniek, een elegant ontwerp en een bijzonder meeslepende geluidsweergave binnen het high
At €4,450 this Marten Oscar Duo listing is a strong deal, sitting well below the typical used market where ex-demo and recent units range from €6,300 to €7,400. Even the lowest recent new-price reference I see is €6,300, so the asking price is roughly 30% under that baseline and clearly in the bargain zone.
The Oscar Duo is a prized ceramic-mid/tweeter bookshelf that delivers remarkable dynamics and clean bass down to 37Hz despite its compact size. Its 25mm fiber-laminate cabinet and Jorma Design internals give it a refined, low-distortion sound that rivals larger standmounts, making it a standout for small-to-medium rooms. At this price, it’s a rare opportunity to own a high-end, well-regarded speaker without paying full retail, especially if the pair is clean and includes original stands or accessories.
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.
