Floorstanding loudspeakers — Marten Dexter Quartet

The Dexter Quartet is a distinctive floorstanding loudspeaker from Marten Design, built with notably high sensitivity and a tapered cabinet profile. The Dexter Quartet brings Marten's considered engineering to a substantial floorstanding format.

Key specs that matter

Rated response spans an exceptionally deep 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 300W. At a distinctive 28-34.3cm (width tapering from 28 to 34.3cm) x 105 x 36cm and 60kg, the Dexter Quartet's tapered cabinet profile reflects Marten's characteristic resonance-optimised cabinet engineering.

Sound and use context

Expect the exceptionally detailed, precisely engineered character Marten's broader Swedish high-end catalogue is known for, with the exceptional 21Hz bass extension combined with the notably high 89dB sensitivity representing Marten's more accomplished current engineering.

Pairing

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

Alternatives

Marten's own Dexter Trio offers a more compact alternative within the same broader Dexter series.
