Marten Launches Coltrane Quintet Speakers At MOC 2024

Marten writes: “We eagerly anticipate the return of everyone to High End Munich 2024. This year, we are proud to showcase our exhibits in four distinct spaces, including our room with Jorma. Through meticulous planning, our room will be transformed into a room-within-a-room, creating the most acoustically neutral listening environment we’ve ever presented at the show. Our aim is to provide a sanctuary where attendees can escape the noise and crowds.

In this space, we will unveil Coltrane Quintet, the highly anticipated successor to our legendary Coltrane 3 and the first new Coltrane model in six years. Throughout the duration of the show, visitors will have the opportunity to experience a comprehensive demonstration of Coltrane Quintet, complemented by Jorma cables and cutting-edge electronics from Antipodes, DS Audio, Halcro, MSB and TechDas.

Additionally, Coltrane Quintet will be demonstrated in the Jorma and Engström room, featuring the debut of the new Jorma Paragon Power cable alongside electronics from Engström.

Visitors will also be able to listen to Parker Trio (Diamond Edition) in a special A/B test environment with our partners IsoAcoustics, plus an active demo of Oscar Duo in the WBT room.

We look forward to seeing you in Germany!

COLTRANE QUINTET WORLD PREMIERE

This year, we are delighted to unveil Coltrane Quintet, the successor to
Coltrane 3, and the latest addition to our esteemed series renowned for its
premium levels of speaker production.

Coltrane has always been a standard of excellence for us and is a benchmark • for the Marten sound. Coltrane Quintet continues this legacy, delivering high resolution, crystal-clear sound with a vivid soundstage that is life-like and • natural. The new Coltrane marks a substantial progression in terms of bass response, dynamics and resonance reduction.

Coltrane Quintet incorporates our signature first-order crossover and boasts • three custom drivers: a pure diamond tweeter, a beryllium high-midrange,
and an entirely new carbon fibre mid-bass, complemented by aluminium • sandwich bass drivers and a bass reflex design.

The cabinet is 25% larger than Coltrane 3, offering a lower bass frequency
response. The newly designed carbon fibre cabinet provides superior • resonance control while retaining the iconic sleek and robust profile of a
Coltrane. Structural enhancements to the interior and front plate enhance • rigidity and stability. For the first time, the cabinet is offered in polished
carbon fibre laminate with an option for a lacquered Piano Black finish.

The stand has been enlarged in all dimensions to enhance stability, working in tandem with Marten Isolators to separate the speaker from the listening environment.

Available in a range of Marten Finishes, Coltrane Quintet starts from EUR 170,000.
