The Absolute Sound test Manger p1 – Neil Gader van The Absolute Sound is vol lof over de Manger Audio p1 passieve vloerstaanders.
Snelheid en zuiverheid
Neil Gader is geen onbekende met Quad en Magnepan. Hiermee worden de Manger luidsprekers wel vaker vergeleken, vanwege hun zeer open en homogene karakter. In zijn woorden:“My initial sonic impression made me feel a little like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. It was if i’d departed the land of the conventional pistonic driver and touched down within a different sonic paradigm. Actually, this was similar to the way I experience my first Magnepan or Quad—an unearthly sense of ease and speed and lack of distortion. The p1 made vocals come alive with an intimacy and immediacy that were almost eerie. In tonal balance and signature, the p1 presented a neutral weighting with warmish, saturated overtones.”
Homogeniteit
Door de enorme bandbreedte van de Manger Sound Transducer, is een goede homogene weergave over het gehele frequentiebereik bijna gegarandeerd. Dit viel Neil Gader ook op:“Especially through the mids and top octaves the p1 projected a unified sonic output with a specificity and transparency that were devoid of perceivable interdriver cancellations, or of the material colorations that can localize midrange cones and dome tweeters in multi-driver designs. Even the popular concentrix/coaxial driver (in reality, two cones managed by a crossover) rarely has the octave-to-octave coherence and seamlessness of the Manger.”
Conclusie
Hij concludeert zijn review als volgt:“In sum, I would urge every upstanding music lover to make a date to have a serious listen to the marvelously involving Manger. There’s really nothing else quite like it.”
