Angeboten wird „Parker Trio“ von Marten Design als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Standlautsprecher“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 4566320471 endet am 23.07.2026 um 16:08 Uhr.
This is a buyer’s market for the Parker Trio: €10,500 is comfortably under the model’s original European-new level, which was roughly €19,000–€23,000/pair depending on finish and source-equivalent pricing, so this reads as a strong buy if the pair is clean and complete. For a high-end floorstander with this pedigree, that’s not just “fair” — it’s meaningfully attractive.
What makes it worth chasing is the core Marten recipe: ceramic drivers, a 91 dB sensitivity, and deep, controlled bass from the rear passive radiators, all in a refined cabinet that’s known for clarity, speed, and upscale finish quality. If the listing includes the original boxes, spikes/feet, and shows no cabinet or driver issues, this is the kind of deal that lets a buyer enter serious high-end sound without paying close to new money.
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.
