Musical Fidelity M8s-500s

Το M8-700 έχει λάβει εξαιρετικές κριτικές και ενθουσιώδη υποδοχή από τούς έμπειρους μουσικόφιλους και τους reviewer του ειδκού τύπου. Ο συνδυασμός υψηλής ισχύος και τεχνολογίας αιχμής που διαθέτει έχει αποδειχθεί ένας συναρπαστικός συνδυασμός. Ωστόσο, ορισμένοι audiophiles δεν έχουν χώρο για δύο μεγάλα μονομπλόκ ή και δεν χρειάζονται απαραίτητα τόση ισχύ. Για αυτούς έχει σχεδιαστεί ο Musical Fidelity M8s-500s. Το ζευγάρωμα του με τον αντίστοιχο προενισχυτή M8 δίνει ένα σύστημα ενίσχυσης που ταιριάζει και με τα υψηλότερα επίπεδα αναπαραγωγής. Ο Musical Fidelity M8s-500s είναι ένας fully balanced τελικός ενισχυτής που προσφέρει 500wpc στα 8Ω και που σχεδόν διπλασιάζει στα 4Ω. Είναι ένας τελικός ενισχυτής που έχει σχεδιαστεί για πολύ μικρή παραμόρφωση, μικρότερη από .001% στο 1kz και μικρότερη από .005% στα 20kHz. Όπως ο M8-700m έτσι και M8s-500s έχουν πολύ μικρό θόρυβο όλα αυτά κάνουν τον ενισχυτή να μπορεί να αποδώσει τα πάντα από την παραμικρή λεπτομέρεια έως και τα τεράστια δυναμικά με ταχύτητα και ακρίβεια.

Ο νέος Musical Fidelity M8S-700M είναι ένας μονοφωνικός ενισχυτής ο οποίος προσφέρει 700 watts ανα μονομπλοκ στα 8 Ω με εξαιρετική ποιότητα. Τα M8s-700m έχουν πολυ μικρή παραμόρφωση 0.001% στο 1 kHz και λιγότερο από 0.005%. στα 20 kHz. Ο θόρυβος των M8s-700m είναι πολύ χαμηλός -120 dB A-weighted και τα αποθέματα ρεύματος είναι τεράστια, 700 watts RMS στα 8 ohms και 1300 watts στα 4 ohms!! Ένα ζευγάρι μονομπλόκ που μπορεί να οδηγήσει τα πάντα ακόμα και τα δυσκολότερα ηχεία. Ο ήχος τους είναι δυναμικός και γλυκός καθαρός και αχρωμάτιστος. Δημιουργεί με άνεση ολογραφική στερεοφωνική εικόνα με αέρα και σαφείς αποστάσεις ανάμεσα στα όργανα.

Audio Note ANK-LX Details The Audio Note ANK-LX is a compact "bookshelf" design, using two drive units per cabinet to cover a very wide frequency response, given its modest dimensions. Unlike many "bookshelf" designs, the AN-K is relatively efficient and offers the amplifier an easy "load," making it highly suitable for our range of superior quality, low-powered valve amplifiers. The majority of the high-end audio marketplace is occupied by ill-conceived low efficiency loudspeaker systems. These designs usually consist of several less-than-ideally matched drivers and a very complex crossover, crammed into a cabinet that exhibits the tonal and textural qualities of reinforced concrete. Their designers are blinded by the dogmatic quest for high sound pressure levels and flat response. But what of the other factors which are essential for emotionally involving music reproduction? What about coherence, full natural micro—as well as macro—dynamics, inner detail? What about LIFE? What about EMOTION? Sorry, they’re just not part of the “High Performance Audio” design brief. And music suffers for it. The design of the AN-K Loudspeaker, by contrast, follows an altogether different philosophy. It calls for a cabinet that complements the chosen drive units, rather than fighting against them. Instead of trying to kill the resonances, we tailor the cabinet to place them in frequency bands where they aid and enhance the operation of the drive units, culminating in a loudspeaker system that makes the most of the preceding amplifier’s output. The material choice for the cabinet is an area where a great deal of research and development has taken place. Over the years, we have tried many different materials and combinations, a time consuming endeavour culminating in the current design, which utilises the highest quality birch ply for the entire cabinet. Bracing and internal damping is kept to a minimum and strategically applied to help, not hinder, the drivers. The cabinet has been designed to be placed close to room boundaries, where the bass performance is augmented significantly by the additional reinforcement offered by the nearby walls. In this position, it will outperform any similarly sized speaker regardless of origin, thanks in part to the shallow cabinet / wide baffle shape which gives the drivers the best possible operating conditions, allowing them to perform as if they are mounted in a virtual wall. This provides the most undisturbed sound field with the widest and most even dispersion possible from a real world cabinet shape. The crossover is simple, essentially first order, hardwired and incorporates air-cored chokes and selected bipolar and polypropylene capacitors (either copper foil or silver foil, depending on model). The internal cabling consists of either 99.99% pure copper or 99.99% pure silver Audio Note (UK) wire, depending on the exact model. (See specifications) Consistent performance is a major issue in loudspeaker design and unfortunately all drive units vary slightly from each other, even if they look the same and have the same basic specification. Many loudspeaker manufacturer’s will tell you that they provide “computer matched” crossovers, and whilst this may be true in one sense (each crossover may have been matched to have the exact same capacitance, inductance and resistance) this essentially “passive” method does not adequately take into consideration the mechanical and acoustic variance present in the drive units themselves, where minute differences in acoustic behaviour will result in quite substantial differences in performance and sound. Therefore, to obtain the best possible combination of drivers and crossovers, we have developed a dynamic matching process. This ensures that each loudspeaker in a stereo pair matches a "master curve" and also its partner, to within 0.4dB. To the best of our knowledge, no other loudspeaker manufacturer achieves such close-matching and tests 100% of its production. Another much overlooked area of loudspeaker design is the material choice for the drivers. It has become very fashionable to use all manner of exotic materials (beryllium, diamond, carbon fibre, ceramics etc.) as cone materials in modern drivers, mainly because it gives the impression that the manufacturer in question is making great strides in their research into better sounding speakers. The sad fact is none of these materials work as intended, as they all have their own distinct sonic signature, so no matter how the crossover is designed, this sonic signature will be present when the speaker reproduces music. It may be less obvious and audible with some types of music, but ultimately the chosen material will always imprint some of its own signature on whatever sound is reproduced. In addition, it is vitally important that the sound and characteristics of an individual drive unit are complimentary to those of its chosen partner, so that when an instrument is reproduced by both drive units (which is almost always the case), the upper range does not sound detached from the lower range and visa versa. This is an aspect of performance that cannot be measured by even the most sophisticated test equipment; it can ONLY be judged by listening. We at Audio Note are keenly aware of this and have deliberately chosen drive units whose sonic signatures are as closely matched as possible. This has led us to favour good, old fashioned paper for the woofer cone and impregnated silk for the dome tweeter. These materials, when matched correctly, marry the low and high frequencies seamlessly, providing the best level of performance possible in the real world of acoustics.

Xerxes 20 Plus Turntable The Xerxes 20 Plus was the result of ongoing research, development and refinement of the ideas behind the original Xerxes Turntable. The quality of engineering was visible through the compact clean lines and robust construction of the three-plinth, triple-layer isolation system. The Xerxes 20 Plus Turntable was best suited with Roksan tonearms, but was compatible any other high-quality tonearms. It offered a powerful and expansive sound displaying a fine mid-band, fast deep bass, very smooth and open treble. Musicians are firmly located within the soundstage, with tempo and musicality combining to create a compelling sense of live music being played.
