If the acid test of any (speaker) system is its ability to sound like real people and real instruments, the Divin Marquis is a stunningly successful design, one that reaches beyond what is being played to the who and the why. Its lack of colouration or dominant character allows you to hear the driving system (and, hopefully, why you bought it). Differences between instruments and players become part of a larger whole, the purpose and motivation of the players laid bare. But more than that, the Marquis doesn’t just shine, its attributes and qualities, musical integrity and capabilities encourage the system as a whole to shine. Any truly great system should sound like people. Any truly great system will give each recording its own voice. Any truly great system should put musical quality ahead of recording quality. Any truly great system should be able to seduce – but needs the ability to offend. Gobel’s Divin Marquis ticks all of those boxes… emphatically! This is a speaker that punches well above its weight, both sonically and musically. Given its not inconsiderable size and mass, that’s impressive indeed.
