Floorstanding loudspeakers — Marten Dexter Quintet

The Dexter Quintet is a serious floorstanding loudspeaker from Marten, sharing the brand's celebrated jazz-namesake driver heritage, built with a detailed variable-width cabinet profile and considerable mass. The Dexter Quintet brings Marten's considered engineering to a substantial floorstanding format.

Key specs that matter

Rated response spans an exceptionally wide 21Hz to 45,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Sensitivity is notably high at 89dB into a comparatively benign 6 ohm load, with recommended amplifier power specified at a substantial 300W. At a detailed 30-38.6 x 105 x 49cm and 80kg, the Dexter Quintet's tapered cabinet profile reflects serious internal driver and cabinet engineering consistent with Marten's celebrated Swedish heritage.

Sound and use context

Expect the exceptionally refined, uncompromising character Marten's broader Swedish catalogue is celebrated for, with the exceptional 21Hz bass extension combined with the notably high 89dB sensitivity.

Pairing

The comparatively benign 6 ohm impedance combined with the substantial 300W specified power calls for capable amplification.

Alternatives

Marten's own OSCAR TRIO and MINGUS SEPTET offer related models within the same broader floorstanding catalogue.
