文中有几句话说得很好,一:The lowest frequencies a speaker can reproduce serve to set the limits of its ability to describe the size of the space in which a recording was made. EW specs the Andra’s bass as extending to 17Hz, and nothing my pair did suggested that is anything but an accurate figure. [试译:一款音箱所能重播出的最低频率界定了其描绘录音场地的空间尺寸的能力的极限。而EW厂方为Andra标出的低频下限为17HZ,而我试听的这对Andra恰如其分地验证了这是一个准确的数值。]二:And the definition! The Andra never sounded sloppy, woolly, or indistinct. Each bass note was dead-bang on a precisely defined pitch. The Andra’s bass simply appeared, like a genie out of a bottle, but only when called for…….Through the Andra, big bass was not just loud and low but profound, compelling, and, above all, musically correct. [试译:至于质感,Andra的声音丝毫没有邋遢、模糊不清或难以辨认的感受。每个低音的音符都是以精确定义的音高、迅雷不及掩耳的速度砰砰袭来。就象跳出瓶子的(阿拉伯神话中的)精灵一般,Andra的低频在得到召唤后即自然地呈现出来。通过Andra,庞大的低频不仅仅是音压高、下潜深,而且是意味深长的、引人入胜的,而最重要的是,具有准确无误的音乐感!]三:Few speakers disappear into the soundfield as well as did the Antares. In his review in August of the Rockport Technologies Antares, Mike Fremer observed that he could not stare down the speakers. Likewise, the Andras proved exceedingly difficult to identify as a source of sound. [试译:没有几款音箱具有象Antares那样能在音场中消失的能力。在Mike Fremer在第八期对Rockport Technologies Antares的评论中,他注意到自己无法凝视那对音箱。同样地,Andra也证明了它极端地难以被确认为发声源。]四:For most of my audio life I have lived with large planar speakers, convinced that no dynamic design could offer the coherence and continuousness of panels. The Andra 2 has at last convinced me that cones and domes in a box, albeit very special cones and domes in a most extraordinary box, can hold the higher cards. [试译:由于曾确信动圈设计的音箱无法提供平面设计的一致性和连续性,因而我的音响生涯中的大部分时间都是与大型平面音箱一起度过的。而Andra2终于使本人相信:装在声箱上的锥盆喇叭和球顶喇叭,尽管是装在一个最为不凡的声箱上的非常特别的锥盆喇叭和球顶喇叭,能有更大的把握。]五:Pure Class A in every respect, and a more than worthy successor to the storied original Andra, the Andra 2 is one of the world’s great loudspeakers. It proves that, like love, a speaker, too, can be lovelier the second time around. [试译:在各个方面都是A级表现,而作为著名的Andra的继任者,Andra2不仅名副其实,而且它亦是世界上最伟大的音箱之一。Andra2证明了,就象爱情一样,一款音箱在第二个回合的时候能更加可爱。]
