Parker series

Mingus Quintet 2 is here. This year we consolidate the Mingus series with an update to our 2016 hit, Mingus Quintet. Each time we improve a model, the series is more cohesive and tight; the range is more unified. With each of these upgrades we move closer to our vision.

Mingus Quintet 2 has Mingus blood - there’s no doubt about that. But we’ve built on its strengths. It’s literally stronger; the cabinet is more resonance-free than before with solid wood tops and bottoms. And the sound is more clean, open and dynamic, while still powerful in the bass, thanks to the improved crossover.
Like its bigger brother, Mingus Quintet 2 now features wooden tops and bottoms available in Zebrano, Walnut and Oak. Beautifully finished solid wood increases strength in the cabinet, vastly reducing resonance factors and adding natural contrast.
To keep the sonic character of Mingus Quintet 2 true, each unit employs a 0.75 ” diamond driver. For sound that shimmers, it’s the purest, most natural choice.
We've used ceramic drivers in our speakers for decades - for Mingus Quintet 2 we make no exception. Stiff ceramic is strong and light, offering a sublime level of clarity.
Marten Isolators reduce distortion and resonance by isolating the speaker from the supporting surface. Better for the soundstage, with natural openness and clarity.
