Every pair of Marten loudspeakers I’ve heard have been the epitome of smooth refined sound including the wonderful Marten Parker Trio I reviewed back in 2022 about which I said:
The Marten Parker Trio impress with an uncanny sense of accuracy and ease, offering a stunning combination of strengths that pay homage to whatever music you send their way.
Rhythm Distribution hosted the Marten Mingus Quintet 2 Statement loudspeakers that made their North American debut at Axpona 2025 powered by the mega-powerful Goldmund Telos 2800 monoblocks (450W into 8ohms/590W into 4) and all together this system offered smooth and elegant sailing, something I’ve come expect from Marten no matter the speaker’s size or price.
Music spread out in room like a sea of sound, ready for a deep dive.
