Jeg prøvde et par PL 200 hjemme for noen år siden. Synes de ble for harde i toppen, og folket som kom og prøvelyttet sammen med meg var enige. Heller ikke mitt rom er særlig godt dempet. Her er imidlertid konklusjonen fra testen i Stereophile:
"The ideal loudspeaker would have no sound of its own: the sound that it made would simply reflect the input signal, communicating all of the detail and nuances present in the source. If such a speaker exists, I haven't heard it—but the Monitor Audio Platinum PL200 comes closer to this ideal than most. The product of a design process that has apparently examined every aspect of loudspeaker performance, the impeccably finished PL200 uses drivers that are unique to Monitor Audio, features high resolution and a high degree of transparency, and does an excellent job of getting out of the way of the music. It offers a balanced performance from top to bottom, with perhaps a slight bias toward the upper end of the range—but not so much that it sounds "etched." At $8000/pair the PL200 is by no means cheap, but neither is it crazy-priced—the price is justified by the design, the quality of components, the obvious care taken in manufacturing, and, most of all, by the sound. It's a lovely speaker."
Mao smaken er som baken. .....
Jeg har forresten et par gamle MA Silver. De spiller som bare det på 16. året.
