Marten

Marten is a Swedish loudspeaker maker founded in 1998 by Leif Mårten Olofsson, building each model by hand in Sweden to a single goal: reproduce music with absolute fidelity to the original performance. The company has earned a global reputation among serious listeners for transparency, speed and a remarkable sense of realism.

At the heart of every Marten loudspeaker are ceramic and diamond drive units, chosen because their exceptional stiffness allows the cone to move as a true piston without the ringing and break-up that colour the sound of softer materials. Marten positions every driver so that the acoustic centres align precisely at the front baffle, producing the pinpoint imaging and natural, unforced presentation the brand is known for.

The range runs from the more compact Parker and Oscar models through to the flagship Coltrane and Mingus series — a nod to the jazz greats that inspire the company — and now the new Dexter range, which brings Marten’s design philosophy to a more attainable price without compromising the core engineering.

As a specialist Marten dealer, Hidden Home Technology offers private auditions at our Bath base, where you can hear these loudspeakers properly set up and matched to electronics. Whether you are considering a first pair of high-end speakers or upgrading a reference system, we provide honest, experienced guidance drawn from over two decades in high-performance audio.

Marten Coltrane series

The flagship line: the Coltrane 3, a flagship-tier floorstander with pure-diamond tweeter and carbon-fibre cabinet; the Coltrane Quintet; the statement four-way Coltrane Momento 2; and the Coltrane Supreme 2, the five-way pinnacle of the series.

Marten Mingus series

Alongside Coltrane at the top of the range, three Mingus models are in our catalogue: the three-way Mingus Quintet 2 with Accuton diamond tweeter and first-order crossover, the more lounge-friendly Mingus Septet, and the crown jewel of the series, the Mingus Orchestra.

Hidden Home Technology is an authorised Marten dealer in the United Kingdom, supplying and demonstrating the Marten range from our reference room in Bath, Somerset.
