The maker
Handcrafted loudspeakers from Sweden
Music has always been the driving force for Marten. By reproducing sound accurately, the company sets out to make moments that move you — loudspeakers for listeners who want to hear reality, and to feel it.
The house was established by Leif Mårten Olofsson in Sweden in 1998, on a heritage that runs back further: his grandfather Josef built violins in the early 1900s, with Stradivarius as the benchmark. Leif made his first loudspeakers in the 1970s, as a hobby. The company is still run by Leif and his brothers Jörgen and Lars, and now takes in five series, a recording studio and a record label.

Finishes
Four woods, and the one you choose
True Grain Oak, Matte Walnut, Piano Walnut, Piano Black. The cabinet is veneered and lacquered by hand, so a pair is finished to order rather than taken off a shelf.
