In Hi-Fi i Muzyka, 10th December 2024, reviewer Maciej Stryjecki explores the refined sound and exceptional design of Parker Duo.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, Parker Duo combines Marten’s proprietary materials and custom ceramic drivers. The result is an acoustically neutral bulld that elevates clarity and precision. Stryjecki highlights Parker Duo’s ability to reveal every nuance in the music, noting its balanced tonality and natural character. He writes:

"If I were to describe the Duo in one word, I would say 'transparent.' They are detailed, but naturally, without being over the top. You can hear almost everything and you don't need more."

Whether listening to symphonies, acoustic recordings, or even heavy metal, the Parker Duo adapts effortlessly. Stryjecki remarked:

"Martens build a wide and deep stage. They are also precise and allow you to appreciate the advantages of ceramic membranes."

A hallmark of our audio design, Parker Duo’s tuning ensures a “healthy, natural sound.” Stryjecki elaborates:

"A properly tuned speaker has this thing about it—it plays with a healthy, natural sound, without oddities and combinations. And believe me, such a speaker is the best. Regardless of your experiences, preferences and excitements, this is the one you will return to with relief."

Stryjecki concluded: 

"I could listen to the Swedish monitors every day, and when the Tempo 6s die, I could put them in their place. This is probably the best recommendation I can give."
