REVIEW Pursuit Perfect System Oscar Duo falls under the expert scrutiny of Terry Ellis at Pursuit Perfect System. This review offers some great validation for our small but mighty model. CERAMIC CONES Advanced technology for natural sound To keep the same Marten sound we designed brand new drivers, allowing more control of the details. Hard ceramic is light, yet extremely rigid, making it one of the best materials for speaker membranes – it’s also known as Sapphire. Our ceramic cones have a high internal damping factor, because of a refined electrochemical process. The membrane also has a high material resonance frequency, meaning distortion is minimal; offering a level of clarity that is the holy grail for high end speaker cones. CABINETS Streamlined with precision The exterior is an exercise in minimalist design – no unnecessary details; no embellishment. Marten cabinet design is a balance of strength and elegance: the perfect compliment to the sound. The optional magnetic cover snaps on with a satisfying click, instantly streamlining the form without changing the sound. INTERNAL WIRING Premium cables for purer sound We use Jorma Design internal wiring, for its exemplary quality and performance. Handmade in Sweden, the cables use separate and – for enhanced shielding and the highest quality Copper. This offers natural, transparent sound; the perfect choice for our speakers. Cables are integral components, so they must work harmoniously with our precision design and build. Jorma Design delivers exactly what a Marten speaker demands. STAND Tailor-made for minimalism To ensure the stand would work perfectly with Oscar Duo, we designed it ourselves – with as much consideration to resonance, as to form. It had to be rigid enough to deal with vibrations, but also look good. After many iterations, we settled on a triple pillar design: making the overall appearance lighter, while keeping it stable. Levels of isolation Spikes By reducing contact with the supporting surface, spikes are a tried-and-tested method for stand speakers. Levels of isolation Marten Isolators With IsoAcoustics we created Marten Isolators. This precision product allows the cabinet to be completely isolated from the floor, reducing resonance and distortion – leaving the soundstage free. Dynamic bass with increased power and control Natural openness and clarity Resists lateral movement and oscillations Reduces internal reflections Suitable for carpet Available as an upgrade. CROSSOVER Low order for high dynamics We prefer to use lower order crossovers, as the higher order crossovers tend to limit the dynamics and details. Our second order crossover has been creatively designed to make the best of the dynamic range.

With sound so solid and tight, it fills a room and feels like a speaker with a much larger footprint.
