PMC Prodigy 1

Etter alle de gode tilbakemeldingene på HIFi messen i Horten 23-24 september, og alle tester som hittil har blitt publisert i HiFi-magasiner rundt om, kan det se slik ut.

Prodigy har DNA fra PMC sine vesentlig dyrere modeller. For eksempel ATL (Advanced Transmission Line) bass system med Laminair aerodynamisk ventil, akkurat som de dyrere modellene har.
Hva skriver pressen om Prodigy-serien? Her er utdrag av noen tester.

What Hi-Fi GB om Prodigy5:
«The Prodigy 5 speakers deftly balance natural vocals, refined bass and a snappy sense of rhythm to deliver a supremely cohesive listening experience. They are, in short, one of the best at the price.» Med sluttkarakteren 5 av 5 mulige stjerner!

Sound Advice om Prodigy5:
«Not only are these thrilling speakers to listen to, they’ve also been designed to be fuss-free in set-up and operation. They’ll sound big and exciting in most rooms – even small spaces – and, given a few days use to run them in, deliver a remarkably integrated sound across a huge range of musical genres.» Med sluttkarakteren. MOST POPULAR!

What Hi-Fi GB om Prodigy1:
«Living up to their name, PMC’s new entry-level standmounts sound nothing short of superb for their modest size and price.» Med sluttkarakteren 5 av 5 mulige stjerner!

EAR om Prodigy5:
«I have no choice but to give this most affordable of PMC floorstanding speakers a solid thumbs up. These compact, understated looking monitors do what it says on the tin and bring the studio sound into the home in no small measure. They bring the music closer by projecting it in with scale, dynamics and pace. There may be a better alternative at the price but I’ve yet to hear it.» Med sluttkarakteren BEST BY!

Ken Kessler Hi-Finews om Prodigy1:
«Choose your cliché, especially ‘good things come in small packages’. The prodigy1 is such a clever all-rounder that I now understand why it was a smash hit in Munich. It does everything you’d want at the size and price, provided you site it with care. As I said above, I’ve been looking for a small speaker just above budget/ entry-level, and the prodigy1 standmount entirely fits the bill. I cannot praise it too highly.» Sluttkarakteren Outstanding product!

Diapason
«The timbres are scrupulously respected, as shown by the performance by Truls Mørk and Havard Gimse of the Sonata for cello and piano in D minor H.125 by Frank Bridge (excerpt A). Adding to this beautiful set-up, the result of careful respect for the phase, a well-constructed soundstage to highlight the work of the two performers.»

“Lots of finesse, a breadth and a seat that one would not imagine from this speaker, which is as compact as it is discreet. The prodigy1 carries within it the genes of the PMC family, characterised by a large open, defined, detailed sound, as if it were chiselled, and the absence of marked directivity.”
