Excerpts from Reviews
of the Windjammer
More
on the Windjammers from Marc Yun's review of the Music Pumps
20 Wpc IC-based monoblock power amplifier and the Music Purse
IC-based preamplifier. Bound for Sound Issue #149
"...the Windjammers seem to present a very benign load which
let the little IC amps sing - a great match for the Pumps."
"Rarely have I heard a system sound so involving as the
Windjammer/Purse combo with intimate musical passages."
"Subtle nuances in articulation and dynamics are communicated
masterfully..."
The following are
excerpts from a review of the Windjammer by Marc Yun in issue
#148 of Bound for Sound
"The
sound is full, natural, and seamless."
"The carbon-fiber woofer is a gem..."
"The 'Jammers' alluring combination of articulation and
tonal completeness ...can enchant the listener."
"Imaging and soundstaging are first rate in the tradition
of the best mini-monitors."The
sound is full, natural, and seamless."
"In
the highest treble, cymbals and triangles have lovely shimmer
without splasshiness... very nice indeed. Integration from top
to bottom is exceptional--the sound is woven of a single fabric."
"... the Windjammers often have incredible texturing, as
if the upper midrange were just that much quicker and more resolving...
it draws the listener into the beauty of the individual sounds." |

When
I first got the Merlins I raved about them and went though my
disc collection several times. ... But you know there were many
discs that were too bright. ...Ultimately I sold the Merlins.
... I went back to the Sonus Fabers for a little relief. ...
I did some direct comparisons between the Sonus Fabers and Windjammers.
I think the sound stage on the Windjammers is more nicely distributed
along the front and extends farther to the side. ... The Sonus
Fabers have a unique sound that can be warm and wonderful but
ultimately with them I wasn't listening to much music. I could
not sit and web surf with them on in the background, they would
drive me nuts, just like the Merlins. The Windjammers are well
defined and articulate and nicely balanced. Male and female voices
sound very good. .... they sound good with everything you put
on, no running for the volume control when a tenor sax comes
in to the mix. I am again listening for more extended periods
and enjoy having the music on even when doing other activites. |
