Marten FormSeries Loudspeakers

The FormSeries represents a new concept of loudspeaker design from Leif Marten Olofsson, chief designer and founder of Swedish manufacturer Marten. After creating award-winning loudspeakers that have reached out to audiophiles around the world, he wanted a new challenge - to create a beautiful and simple geometrical form that would fit into the interior of any contemporary home, yet provide the high-end sound quality and cabinetry for which Marten loudspeakers have become so well known.

The FormFloor and FormCentre models are two way loudspeakers witch employs one pure ceramic bass/mid driver and a true ribbon tweeter for the treble. The triangular configuration of the FormFloor and FormCentre models is acoustically optimized to allow the speakers to totally disappear within the soundstage. The finishes are piano lacquer in five different colours/woods. The very powerful FormSub model contains a 10” extremely long throw driver that is powered with a 400W class D. amplifier. FormSub is available in piano lacquer black finish and has the retail price of EUR 3100. The retail price for FormFloor is EUR 4500 and for FormCentre EUR 2100.
