About the Bird

The Marten Bird is a 3-way ported floorstanding speaker from Sweden, equipped with a 1-inch diamond tweeter, a 7-inch ceramic midrange driver, and two 9-inch ceramic bass drivers. It offers a frequency response of 28 Hz to 45 kHz (-3 dB), a sensitivity of 89 dB at 2.83V, and an impedance of 6 ohms (minimum 4.7 ohms). The speaker is designed to deliver a natural midrange and treble tonality with excellent micro-detail resolution and an open, big soundstage. It weighs 47 kg and measures 1160 mm in height, 280 mm in width, and 480 mm in depth. The Bird is available in high gloss maple, cherry, walnut, or black finishes. It is praised for its musicality, speed, and detailed yet forgiving sound character, making it suitable for music enthusiasts who value natural sound over extreme bass accuracy or ultra-focused imaging. The speaker is designed to be placed relatively close to the back wall (minimum 40 cm) and away from side walls to optimize imaging and tonal balance. It has a power rating of 250 W and was priced around 22,900 euros in Finland at the time of review. The Bird is no longer the newest model but remains highly regarded for its sound quality and build.
