INNER test Manger z1 – Kari Nevalainen van het trendy audio – cultuur – muziek web magazine ‘INNER‘ testte de Manger z1 monitoren.
Manger z1
In een verhaal dat ook heel mooi de achtergronden en werking van de luidsprekers uitlegt, geeft Kari heel mooi zijn fascinatie weer met deze bijzondere muziekmakers.Enkele citaten:
“First things first: the sound of the Manger Z1 has a number of excellent features. For instance, it’s almost disturbing how self-confidently and fairly, in a right-heartedly balanced way the speaker plays music regardless of the pieces’ frequency distribution.”
“The point is that one gets a strong feeling that the sound, at the risk of sounding banal, only or almost only includes what is on the record, nothing added to it. A buzzling and uncommon experience indeed, but also highly rewarding.”
“[…] the singer’s voice, the relation between the singer and the accompanying orchestra, the orchestral tones, how the various instrument groups join in, the decaying of the sounds, … just great, brilliant, … can hardly become much better than this.”
Conclusie
Voor Kari is er maar één conclusie mogelijk:“On the basis of its technical qualities but also the sonics alone, it is clear that the Manger Z1 is not an ordinary 2-way standmount speaker for beginners. To this date, I have yet to hear a loudspeaker that would reproduce music on the level of the Manger Z1, and would cost less to the extent that would matter financially, even though I can’t remember all the speakers that I’ve heard and reviewed over past 20 years. […] I will not immediately remember another loudspeaker regarding which my linear notes would have had as many “One of the best performances ever?”
