I’d be concerned with the bass output of the Trio in your room. It’s actually a 2-way speaker so both mid/bass drivers are going to reinforce bass. I had a similar speaker design once and the bass output was surprising and not really suited for a smaller room. As others mentioned, I’d go for the Duo and and two small subs so you get more full range but are able to better manage the bass in your room. Another good option would be the Joseph Audio Pulsar 2.
Floor-standing vs Book-shelf from upper line up?
Hello,
I’d like to ask your general opinion and experience.
Of course, I plan to hear (if possible) both to make the final call, but would like to know possible long-term experience.
A room is about 14ft x 13ft, a dedicated listening room with couple acoustic panels.
My question is, (specifically or generally)
- Floor stand speaker vs A book shelf type speaker from the upper line up
What would be the better choice?
Technically, the bookshelf would provide enough sound for a room, and it’s from the upper line up, so I think this might be the optimized solution.
At the same time, I personally prefer floor-standing design (not that important), and though there might be slightly more power than I need, I think having slightly more power would not sound like a bad idea.

I compare Marten Oscar Trio vs Marten Parker Duo
Both are relatively new, and the price is basically same...
“This price factor” (assuming you pay for what you get, especially from the same company) is a tricky thing.
If this were B&W 805 vs 704 decision. It would be a lot easier.
What would you choose?
Happy New Year! :D
