[評論]M&K M7+ M4T Tripole™ system 器評

M&K SOUND M7 M4T 超低音SB8 家庭劇院最佳推薦

M&K SOUND M7 器材評鑑

如果叫一堆不玩音響的消費者直接從外觀上挑喇叭, 那麼 M&K 幾乎鐵定落選,因為它很大膽,既沒有漂亮的木紋貼皮,也沒有費工的拋光打磨,更沒有隨產品附贈的精美腳座,從外觀上也看不出有什麼新穎技術;它只有黑漆漆的方正箱體,配上貌不驚人的單體,結果售價硬是比同造型喇叭貴上一截,這叫消費者怎麼接受?

但是 M&K 卻仍然能在家庭劇院領域享有盛名,長年在這個領域中獨霸一方,培養出不少死忠支持者,甚至連專業評論員都有人成為它的俘虜。這就是 M&K 自信的地方,它不需要從外觀來討好你,它所創造出來的電影效果,就是能讓人有驚天動地的感受,用實力將競爭對手一個一個比下來。 

 

應用於專業錄音室,重視內在實力不重外表

當然, M&K 也不致於故意將喇叭作得很醜,事實上是因為 M&K 本來就是專業錄音室的常客,例如福斯電影公司、盧卡斯電影公司、杜比實驗室都曾使用 M&K 系統,所以它的外形不重要,聲音才是重點。也因為它的表現太好了,所以直接拿來進攻家庭市場,一樣能獲得許多消費者青睞。像本次測評的 M&K 喇叭尺寸都不大,但是聽過之後仍然讓我有震撼的感受,部份表現還超過預期;讓人看著眼前這堆小喇叭,不禁要問:這樣的衝擊力與能量感到底是打那兒來的?

這次聆聽的對象是 M&K M7M4T Tripole™ 和超低音 SB8 都不是大傢伙,像 M7 M4T 都可以歸類為 M&K 產品線中的迷你衛星系列。

M7 是作為左、右和中央聲道,M4T 作為環繞聲道,這兩款喇叭都是緊閉式箱體,配置了相同的絲質軟凸盆高音和 4吋中低音單體。當中 M4T Tripole™ 採用 M&K 專利的三方向發聲技術(Tripole technology),能創造寬廣的環繞包圍感。由於這次我想在內文中多談一點對聲音的感受,相關技術細節就請見圖片說明,我們直接跳到聆聽部份。

本次試聽先後搭配了 Sony STRDA2400ES YAMAHA RXV1900 環繞擴大機,訊源則是先後試用了 Pioneer BDPLX71LG BD300 和某部 DENON BD 播放機。由於考量到這次的喇叭體形都不大,所以特別將前方三聲道近牆擺設,超低音則是靠近牆角,利用空間輔助來增加低頻能量感。

不僅衝擊力和低頻量感優異,高頻細微處也處理得很好

在某些人的既定印象中, M&K 喇叭只擅長衝擊力和低頻量感,而這次我的聆聽心得是「不止如此」。例如播放「三百壯士:斯巴達的逆襲」BD版,波斯大軍和斯巴達壯士於峽谷相遇那段,兩軍首次衝擊,盾牌相撞的聲音鏗鏘有力,動能結實,感覺上兩邊人馬還真是卯足了全勁才來這麼一擊。接下來兩軍人馬混亂的鬼吼鬼叫,此時聲音的解析力相當好,也就是在雜亂的叫喊聲和金屬撞擊聲中,仍然能分辨出不同音效的細節,而且音效之間有很好的層次感,這讓我感到很驚訝,原來這套喇叭並不只是粗勇而已,細微處也處理得很好。

衝擊力能量感的確是 M&K 最引人入勝之處,難怪給人這麼深的刻板印象;例如戰場上的刀劍相擊聲,有些聽來就像在真實生活中拿起兩支鐵鎚用力互敲,就是這麼的嚇人。另外當劇情進行到戰場上的大混戰,或者是大軍從前方蜂擁而至的時候,前方滾滾而來的能量也很有氣勢。

觀看「驚奇四超人:銀色衝浪手現身」BD版,銀色衝浪手出現在男女主角婚禮上,這時有一台直昇機打橫墜落現場,巨大的螺旋漿葉向著鏡頭捲來,一時間各種音效飛散在視聽室每個角落,尤其連後上方的音效都很清楚。接著螺旋漿打在地板上四散分飛,聲勢驚人,音效帶來的壓力結結實實向座位襲來……動作電影的效果不用再多說了,爆棚片段的震撼力和迫力絕對足夠,您反而要考慮的是如何避免「低頻過量」的問題。

音樂表現有速度,有厚度,還有明顯的鑑聽性格

至於音樂表現方面呢?有人說 M&K 不適合聽音樂,我個人的意見是要看情形。因為透過這套系統來播音樂,它有很明顯的鑑聽性格。例如測試期間使用某參考BD播放機播放多聲道音樂演奏會BD片。鋼琴表演部份,聽來靈活輕鬆、節奏流暢,每一個琴鍵的尾音清晰。

再聽吉他的快節奏撥弦演奏,弦的振動很有力量,同時所有快速連貫的音色都交待得清清楚楚;人聲演唱部份,演唱者唱起歌來氣定神閒,落落大方,這已經很不錯,明顯是好喇叭的特質,不過比較沒有韻味或光澤感,簡單說就是沒有太大的驚喜。當換了更高階的另一台BD播放機來播放,聲音細節的豐富性、層次感又再上一層樓,落差很大,聲音整個變好聽了,不僅更圓潤,動態起伏也更明顯,人聲也變得更厚,更甜。播放機不同等級的差異, M&K 喇叭全部忠實的反應出來

 

誰說不適合聽音樂?先看看前端搭配的器材夠不夠好

測試期間也試著更換環繞擴大機,並切換不同音場模式。果然擴大機的音質落差,和各種音場模式效果都能很輕易的表現出來。在測試過程中,只要前端的任何環節出了問題,例如播放機的音質不好,擴大機不夠力,或者軟體本身的錄音不佳, M&K 就是能「據實以告」,如果應該是難聽的狀況,那就真的不好聽;如果應該是好聽的狀況,那就真的很好聽,期間也曾聽到過很溫暖、感覺很「濃厚」的聲音。

[器評] 瑞典PRIMARE hi-fi+年度最佳推薦:I35 Prisma 兩聲道旗艦綜合擴大機

Primare is no stranger to the Hi-Fit Awards; in fact, last year, the company's R35 picked up our Phono Stage of the Year up to award. And the 135 integrated amplifier has been a constant recommendation since we first tested it in its basic guise. However, the modular amplifier was hiding an ace up its sleeve in the guise of its Prisma digital streaming platform.

[器評] 瑞典PRIMARE CD播放機的集體評測:來自瑞典的CD35是最後贏家!

As well as clean, minimalist design and meticulous build quality, Sweden’s Primare is all over the idea of modularity, a philosophy that invites system flexibility and, very Scandi this, internal harmony. For example, buy its flagship CD35 CD player and you can add its SM35 Prisma network player module at any point. There’s also the DD25 transport – essentially the CD35 sans DAC – to consider in a wider system context. Whichever way you cut it, all bases are covered.

[器評] 瑞典PRIMARE Sound&Vision給他五顆星!I15 Prisma 兩聲道精選綜合擴大機(帶數位串流)

Primare is a small audio component manufacturer in Sweden founded by an industrial designer from Denmark. The Malmö-based firm's quirky high-end electronics have found favor among in-the-know audiophiles for nearly thirty years. Recently, a new line of streaming-centric components was introduced that appear custom-made to broaden Primare's appeal, and if the entry-level Prisma I15 integrated amplifier/DAC ("streamplifier," as I like to call them) they've supplied us for review here is any indication, the move will succeed.

[器評] 瑞典PRIMARE A35.8 美國Stereophile權威雜誌2024最佳推薦

Back in 1999, while reviewing the Wazoo integrated amplifier from Bow Technologies, I learned that its designer and company founder, Bo Christensen, had previously founded another audio company. That's how I discovered Primare. Over the years, various products from Primare have appeared at audio shows but never grabbed my attention. In a recent EISA press presentation, however, Primare showcased an eight-channel amplifier that did, given my interest in multichannel audio. I was glad to be able to attend.

[器評] 瑞典PRIMARE A35.8 英國AV Forums推薦!Prime級別的八聲道後級

The Primare 35.8 has an unassuming profile. It’s simply a black box with an on/off switch, which is good start. But this is a glorious sounding amplifier. Movies and music are awash with fine detail, and superb imaging and depth of field. What’s more, music sources come off as almost tangible with a delightfully analogue quality for a Class D design. This is all a surprise. As a consumer, you must prepare to spend big on the best amplifiers for a dedicated home cinema room. But also remember that these are the components that will probably find a home in your AV room the longest duration. If you’re at the decision stage for purchasing eight (or sixteen) channels of unbridled power, we say don’t overlook the Primare 35.8.

[器評] 瑞典PRIMARE A35.2 兩聲道後級評測,英國人這樣說⋯⋯

Primare is a brand which has been building and designing HiFi and AV equipment for over 30 years now and in that time they have built up a well established name which when I hear it always makes me think high fidelity music systems, having heard many of them over the years at various shows and demos they have always impressed me with their beautiful minimalist design but more importantly great sound so this will be my first review of one of their products and having just used the A35.2 to review the stunning Perlisten Audio R7t speakers it powered them effortlessly but I wanted to review this amplifier with my own speakers in situ the ProAc D2Rs.
