Marten Oscar Trio Loudspeakers First Look

See the complete review for the Marten Oscar Trio Loudspeakers

Recently, VANA Ltd. of Lake Grove NY became the North American distributor of Swedish speaker maker Marten, a premium brand that in my opinion has been a bit elusive in North America.

So, I applaud the news! With the new arrangement, Marten has introduced a new “affordable” series called Oscar. The new line is comprised of two versions, the monitor Duo, and the floor-standing Trio.

Anyone familiar with Marten will know their Coltrane Series that can set you back six figures or said differently, halfway to a million dollars. Although they have other reachable ownership speakers, the Oscar Series which bridges the affordable line with the highest-end may effectively put them on the map. Here for review, at just under $11,000 for the pair, is the Oscar Trio floor-standing speaker.

Look for a complete review on the Secrets website to appear very soon.

As a kid I wasn’t frugal with money, but so glad my brother was. He worked and saved to buy audio gear that I was able to enjoy. I was hooked on hifi. When I graduated from college, I rewarded myself with a pair of KEF speakers and a Denon Turntable and amplifier. They were my prized possessions. Today as an architect, my passion for music and film match my joy for architecture - art is art. Involved with Secrets for many years now, I’m able to enjoy some great gear and I do love it all, analog (vinyl and tubes) and digital (high-res and solid state). My approach to reviewing is with an openness and unbiased enthusiasm as I do think the art of high fidelity is subjective. Whether you believe the goal of hifi equipment is to capture the quality of a live performance or to faithfully reproduce the artist’s studio recording isn’t relevant, it’s the pure enjoyment at all levels that matter.
