“While the PM2 does not come with the fancy extras the PM1 has, it still has the bare essentials: a 3M long 6.3mm cable, a 4ft 3.5mm cable (trust me, this makes sense; I’ll explain later), and a carrying case. Though I do have some qualms about the carrying case being slightly too small. It fits the headphones, but I have to unplug the cable. It’s not a huge problem,”

“Some audio products blow you away with detail; others lull you into a relaxing stupor with a smooth, sultry sound. Monitor Audio’s little Airstream A100 struck a fine balance, confidently striding precisely between these two camps. I was smitten by its sound — at once rich yet detailed, smooth but with a hint of sparkle, and surprisingly neutral”

“We found the amplifier’s happy place was in a system comprising the excellent B.M.C. Audio BDCD1.1 and DAC1pre (in DAC mode) driving the Triangle Antal Anniversary also reviewed in this issue. Cables in this case were from the Chord Sarum TA range”

” This character must be attributed at least in part to the choice of driver materials and the construction of the cabinet, but whatever the cause, the GX50, too, sounded quick. In addition to its wonderful sense of pace, the GX50s bore other hallmarks of the Monitor sound: superb retrieval of detail, precise imaging, and taut, punchy bass.”

” I hardly ever mention the accessories but the DX160 comes in a great little case. I don’t tend to like these zip cases but this one just works for me. The DX160 is Apple certified but it of course also does Android and other sources”

” Of course, such a style-led exterior can only sway someone so far. The speaker has to step up to the mark too. And it’s here where Triangle so often shines. There is a directness and vividness that sums up the Triangle sound and the Antal Anniversary has no intention of letting the side down.”

” The overall sound is not obviously pacey because of the balance but with acoustic material you get a clear sense of tempo which makes for engaging results. You also hear recording quality very easily and the better that is the more enjoyable the results. I connected a few alternative sources to the 808 to see how that would alter the result and discovered that on the whole those sources produced a brighter, more open result than the Control 15″

On this exquisite track, the HE-560 invites listeners to savour several interwoven musical elements at once: the deep yet very taut sound of low percussion, the rich and multi-layered sonorities of an acoustic bass, the pulse of mid-pitched percussion instruments, and the lilting and almost dreamlike voice of a piano.”
