【喇叭】加拿大 VERITY AUDIO SARASTRO II

[Leo Yeh]

主要也跟原廠的聲音設計方向有關，Michael Fremer對I代有點意見，不過另外一位Fred Kaplan在評II的時候就完全相反，非常好評

In his review of the Sarastro I, my friend and colleague Michael Fremer complained that, though the SPL meter said otherwise, the speakers never sounded loud enough. "I was never kicked by a kick drum or seared by squealing...guitars," he wrote. MF may have a more demanding standard of loudness than I, but I didn't have a problem with the IIs. To me, the key in capturing loudness isn't so much the decibel level as whether the music swells as it gets louder—whether it expands in volume, in the spatial sense of the word. The Sarastro II got that right—whether it was the swelling of the strings in Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony's performance of Mahler's Symphony 9 (SACD, SFSO 821936-0007-2), or Radiohead's kick drum and wailing guitars.
