יצא לי לפגוש את שני הסוקרים הנחמדים KEY KIM ו Clement Perry בתערוכת מינכן שהייתה במאי כשנכנסו לחדר של ARTOS AUDIO לשמוע את הסט המשובח שניגן בחדר ......
http://www.v2.stereotimes.com/post/munich-high-end-2015 ... kim-reportמגיע לKEY KIM לשמוע את ארטוס מול הCONSENSUS שיש לו , ולכן הרמקול דגם מיראג' נמצא בדרך אליו .
KEY KIM כתב : Wow! What a surprise to see the Artos Audio (formally Consensus Engineering loudspeakers) and the Karan Acoustics in the same room. I've been using both their products as my reference for some years now. Christoph Kraemer who now serves as the company's CEO, took over the helm in 2012 and still maintains operations north of Dusseldorf in the city of Krefeld, Germany. The first thing anyone notices about Artos Audio loudspeakers is their cabinet. The multi layered finishes are exquisitely unique and beautiful. Looking for differences between it and my older Consensus brand, I noticed they come equipped with Accuton’s newest Cell drivers (graphite-coated ceramic drivers). Kreamer says Accuton custom designs voice coils for Artos Audio to avoid the use of resistors in the crossover. I asked Kraemer if there’s any difference between the CAE Conspiracy loudspeakers and Artos Audio’s, and he told me that Artos Audio utilizes better drivers, crossovers, and cabling. I was able to hear all three loudspeakers (albeit under small makeshift room conditions), starting with the Sunrise ($18k), then the Rainbow Cell ($32k) and finally, the Mirage ($42k). These prices are still up there but I don’t know how Kraemer could manage to keep the prices much lower than many other loudspeaker manufacturers who also use Accuton drivers.
The Artos Audio suite used the powerhouse Karan Acoutics KAS600 stereo amplifier and KAL ReferenceMK3 fully balanced preamplifier (Class A with external power supply). I was very impressed with the overall sound despite the surroundings, as I found it transparent, detailed and open sounding with great timbre and weight. Due to the limitations of the room, on certain tracks the bass got a little overwhelming, but I know those thin walls were the culprit. The good news is I have a pair of the big Mirage coming my way so stay tuned.
דגם ה MIRAGE DIAMOND EXTENDED צפוי להגיע בקרוב לתצוגה .....
שבוע טוב .
