Das amerikanische Online-Magazin „Dagogo“ hat soeben einen Review des Electrocompaniet ECI 5 Mk II veröffentlicht (hier). Die wesentlichen Aussagen sind:
– „It has a consistently full-bodied sound but is still nicely detailed; it has a very powerful sound but is relaxing to listen to. […] It also has very full blown soundstage that is both deep and wide.„
– „The top-end is extended with nice layering and sparkle. It is fairly relaxed and softer than most transistor amps. […] The midrange of the ECI-5 MKII presents great leading edges, with good decay, and very good detail and definition without sounding the least bit “transitory.” It is very coherent from the midrange to the higher treble regions. It also sounds tonally accurate with voices, and it has very natural timbre and ease.„
– „[…] the ECI-5 MKII has outstanding bass.„
– „It’s incredibly dynamic and powerful, but it never sounds overbearingly so, and it never seems strained.„
– “ […] the stage is extremely wide, seeming to extend well beyond the physical placement of loudspeakers. The depth seems to go on forever, and there is very good vertical size.„
