Marten's 'Coltrane – Black Pearl' loudspeaker
Marten has announced a limited edition ‘Coltrane’ loudspeaker called the ‘Black Pearl’.
What distinguishes this speaker, visually, is that the front panel is gloss black. Internally, though, is where the fun is: it is wired with Jorma Design’s PRIME cables. Enough said?
No? Then you haven’t heard the PRIME cables…:-) BUT there is also upgraded crossover parts, cabinet structure and slightly more tube-friendly bass drivers [which I think are now available on all new Coltranes]. Looks like the speaker is also about 14 lbs heavier than it used to be, now weighing in at 118lbs.
Price: $90K USD [‘Standard’ Coltranes are $60K] … of COURSE we want a pair. But we already have a pair of the walnut Coltranes in on consignment – their current owner is remodeling needs a little extra funds [figures, huh? All of you who have remodeled know exactly what I am talking about, don’t you] – so we aren’t desperate for the Black Pearl… yet.
Here is the essence of the brochure:
We are working with a client in China who wants to use our footers on the Black Pearl loudspeakers. Can you please provide the thread pattern.
Thank you,

Hi Joe,
Replacing the Black Diamond Racing cones? Cool.
Not sure what the thread pattern is, so it would be best for you to contact the factory at: info@marten.se
Take care,
