Montaudio 在南半球攀登線材巔峰
如今，紐西蘭的羊群數量似乎已不如往昔，於是音響公司開始填補這一經濟缺口。其中，Montaudio 便是專注於線材製作的品牌，產品涵蓋多種高品質線材，以及一款精美的音響架 —— Manuka MR，其價格定位於市場的高端區域。
本次我們聚焦於 Montaudio 的入門級類比訊號線與喇叭線，此外還包括數位網路線與 USB 線，這些產品專為講究質感與視覺美感的發燒友而設計，同時兼具卓越的音質表現。所測試的線材採用純銅與鍍銀銅導體，Montaudio 在設計中特別著重於抑制振動與空氣中傳導的雜訊。品牌背後的團隊對此領域有深入研究，並延伸推出多款相關產品，如接地盒、避震腳墊與線材架，當然還包括 Manuka MR 音響架。Montaudio 以紐西蘭的文化傳承為榮，每款產品皆以該國獨特元素命名，例如 Manuka 即為紐西蘭特有的植物，深受蜜蜂喜愛。

Montaudio Bowen AC-1, Godley USB, Rakaia EH-1, Chatham SH-1 cable loom
Apparently, there aren’t as many sheep in New Zealand these days so audio companies are taking up the economic slack, one such is Montaudio who make a wide range of cables and a beautiful rack, the Manuka MR, which is priced towards the top end of the market.
Here, we are looking at their entry-level range of analogue interconnects and speaker cables, along with the digital ethernet and USB cables, which are aimed at the discerning audiophile who appreciates the tactile and visual qualities of the gear as well as their sonic beauty. The cables I am looking at are built around both copper and silver-plated copper cable cores. Montaudio has prioritised the rejection of both vibration and airborne noise in their designs. The people behind the brand appear to know something about the subject and also sell a range of products, including ground boxes, isolation feet and cable elevators, not forgetting the Manuka MR rack of course. Montaudio is proud of its New Zealand heritage and has named each product after something unique to the country, Manuka being a plant that is endemic to this group of islands and something of a favourite among bees.
Montaudio 成立於 2013 年底，總部位於奧克蘭，由一群志同道合的音響發燒友共同創立，致力於打造超越當時市場水準的高品質產品。其線材系列具有統一的設計理念，主導體皆採用聚乙烯介電材料，並在必要的接點外盡量減少金屬使用。此外，Montaudio 在多款產品中巧妙運用胡桃木，不僅增添優雅質感，也因其優異的抗振特性而提升音質表現。為進一步抑制振動，每條線材內部均填充天然棉料。各系列產品皆有獨特標記，以區分導體材質與結構設計。Platinum-Grey、金黃色與金屬藍的標誌意義，Montaudio 採用顏色標示導體材質：鉑灰色（Platinum-Grey） 代表鍍銀銅導體，金黃色（Gold-Yellow）則表示純銅導體，而金屬藍（Metallic-Blue） 則專屬於 Montaudio 最高階的 Stewart 系列，該系列採用單晶銀導體。
Montaudio was formed in Auckland in late 2013 by a group of like-minded audiophiles who collectively sought to create products that they felt exceeded the quality of what was available on the market at the time. Their range of cables follows a common theme of using polyethylene dielectrics on the main conductors and limiting metal as far as possible beyond the necessary contact points. As well as adding both class and character to the cable, judicious use of walnut is found in many of Montaudio’s products, the wood being chosen for its vibration-damping properties. To further add to the range’s vibration-killing ambitions, natural cotton filler is used within each cable. Each range has markings which designate the type of conductors used. Platinum-grey means that silver-plated conductors are used; gold-yellow represents copper conductors, with metallic-blue reserved for the top-level ‘Stewart’ cables, which have monocrystal silver conductors.
Bowen AC-1 訊號線與 Chatham SH-1 喇叭線
首先，我們來看看 Chatham SH-1 喇叭線，這是一款相當霸氣的產品，其名稱來自紐西蘭最東端的查塔姆群島。此系列提供三種標準長度可選：1.5 公尺一對；3 公尺一對；5 公尺一對。本次測試的 5m 版本採用純紅銅 BFA 香蕉插頭，並鍍 24K 金，另可選擇 Y 型端子（但價格更高）。Chatham SH-1 為了突顯其鍍銀銅導體，外層包覆銀色編織的深藍色外被。其直徑達 15mm，是一款結構相當厚實的線材，無法輕易藏於地毯下。插頭部分的設計堅固可靠，整體質感極為優異。
Bowen AC-1 訊號線則與 Chatham SH-1 喇叭線相得益彰。我收到的是 1 公尺 RCA 版與 XLR 版，另可選購最長達 3 公尺的版本。Bowen AC-1 採用三核心純銅導體，外層覆有金黃色編織的金屬棕色外被。與 Chatham SH-1 相比，其直徑較細，僅 8mm，但內部導體直徑為 22 AWG。此線材具有完整的屏蔽設計，結合銅箔與無氧銅（OFC）網狀屏蔽層，能有效降低干擾。
RCA 與 XLR 插頭（以及喇叭線的 BFA 接頭）均採用純紅銅材質，並鍍 24K 無鎳金，端子處則覆以天然胡桃木管，並標示方向箭頭，進一步提升質感與辨識度。值得注意的是，Montaudio 的線材皆為方向性設計，因此需依照箭頭指示方向安裝。
Bowen AC-1 interconnects and Chatham SH-1 speaker cables
I will begin with the Chatham SH-1 cable, which is quite a beast. This cable takes its name from a group of islands marking the most Easterly point of New Zealand. Three lengths are listed as being available to order: a 1.5m pair, a 3m pair, and the 5m pair. My samples are terminated with pure red copper banana (BFA) plugs with 24K gold-plated connectors; spades are also available, although, for some reason, this termination costs more. To designate its silver-plated copper conductors, the Chatham SH-1 is wrapped in a silver braided dark blue jacket. With a diameter of 15mm, it is a physically imposing cable that you will not be hiding under the carpet. The connectors feel reassuringly solid, and these cables exude a quality feel.
The Bowen AC-1 analogue cables are the natural partner to the Chatham SH-1 speaker cables. I was sent a 1m pair of each. Alternative lengths are available up to 3m. These cables are covered in a metallic brown jacket with a gold/yellow braid and are based around triple-core copper conductors. The Bowen AC-1 is considerably narrower in diameter than the Chatham cable at 8mm, although the diameter of the conductor within each cable is 22 AWG. These interconnects are fully shielded with a copper foil in combination with an OFC mesh. Both the XLR and RCA plugs, as with the BFC connectors of the speaker cables, are of pure red copper with 24k nickel-free gold-plating. Natural walnut barrels with direction arrows cover the cable terminations, which feel and look pretty classy. These arrows are common to each of the cables, so this range of cables is directional.
聲音表現與比較
我將 Montaudio 的線材與兩款參考線材進行比較，其中一款是我日常使用的 Townshend Audio 全套線材，另一款則是價格略低於 Montaudio、但市場評價頗高的產品。由於我的系統較偏向 XLR 連接，因此大部分的試聽記錄是以 Bowen AC-1 XLR 搭配 Chatham SH-1 喇叭線進行測試。
此外，我也將 Bowen AC-1 RCA 訊號線搭配先前測試過的 Bluesound Node Icon 串流播放器，結果發現 RCA 版本的聲音特性與 XLR 相近，且在這款串流播放器上，RCA 甚至比 XLR 更合適。
I compared these cables to both my usual Townshend Audio loom and a second, well-regarded one, which retails for a little less than the Montaudio. My current reference setup tends to work best with XLR cables, so most of my listening notes are with the Bowen AC-1 XLR interconnects paired with the Chatham SH-1 speaker cables. I did, however, try the Bowen AC-1 phono cables with the Bluesound Node Icon streamer that we recently looked at and found they had a similar balance to the XLRs; indeed, I found this streamer worked better with RCA than XLR cables.
類比音質表現
儘管這組線材已經過充分的煲機，我仍然發現它們需要幾天的時間來完全穩定。一旦進入狀態，所呈現的音樂表現極具活力、能量與刺激感。相較於我的 Townshend 線材，Montaudio 的聲音平衡更顯輕盈通透，但當音樂需要重量感與衝擊力時，依然能夠穩健地展現出來。這些線材能突顯空氣感與音場氛圍，但不會帶來不自然的亮度。整體聲音表現充滿力量感、層次豐富，且具備快速、動態的特性。
通常，這種聲音特質可能會犧牲部分樂器的厚度，但在 Montaudio 這組線材上，我並未感受到這種影響。雖然 Townshend 高階線材確實擁有更沉穩的低頻與更強的整體密度，這一點在任何價位段都難以匹敵，但 Montaudio 這組線材所帶來的活力、細節與音場開闊感，在某些系統中甚至可能更具優勢。
這一點在我近期試聽的一款聲音偏向慵懶的喇叭上尤其明顯 —— Montaudio 線材彷彿為其注入了一針強心劑，使其音樂表現更加生動有力。Bowen AC-1 與 Chatham SH-1 的搭配能夠完整呈現音場資訊，特別是在聲音前方的解析度上表現出色，同時音場的寬度與深度亦維持良好的均衡。儘管 Montaudio 線材的整體聲音比我的 Townshend 更明亮一些，但頻率範圍保持了良好的整合性，時間相位也相當精準。
通常，當高頻能量與時間控制不佳時，容易導致過度刺激的聽感，但 Montaudio 線材的時間準確度確保了音樂的完整性，使聲音清晰而不刺耳。相比之下，在安裝 Montaudio 之前，我試用的另一組較便宜的線材便存在高頻過亮的問題，而 Montaudio 的到來可說是一種解脫。只要搭配得當，這些線材在同價位區間內將帶來令人驚豔的表現，提供極具感染力的音樂體驗。
Bowen AC-1 RCA 與耳機系統的搭配表現
我在 Bluesound Node Icon 與 Heed Canalot III 耳機擴大機之間使用 Bowen AC-1 RCA 進行連接，驅動我的 Sendy Peacock 耳機，結果令人驚艷。相比於我原本使用的 Kimber 線材，這組 RCA 在音樂重現的各個方面都有顯著提升。速度、時間精準度與解析力仍然是亮點，而最明顯的變化是音場的立體感達到了球體般的包圍感 —— 例如 Don Henley 的 Boys of Summer (Qobuz 24/192) 透過耳機從未如此富有三維感。Snoop Dogg 的 Drop It Like It’s Hot (Qobuz 16/44) 則展現出紮實有力的動態與衝擊感，電子合成器的聲音更加飽滿、鮮活且富有層次。這款線材的速度感與鮮明度突出，但不會犧牲樂器的厚度，這點與許多「快而薄」的線材形成鮮明對比。
Analogue sound quality
Although this set was well run in, I found that they took a few days to settle down, but once they did I was treated to a vivid, energetic and exciting presentation of the music. This was certainly a somewhat lighter and breezier balance than I get from my Townshend cables, but not without weight and impact when the music demanded. These cables highlight air and acoustic ambience but without any unnatural brightness. Music via these cables sounds powerful, involving, fast and dynamic. Often, such characteristics are at the expense of instrumental body, but I did not hear that from this Montaudio pairing. Although the more expensive Townshend cables do possess more weight and solidity, this has always been a trump card that few can match at any price. Despite this, I can see how the extra life, vitality and space of the Montaudio loom could win out in certain systems.
This was the case with a particularly laid-back pair of speakers that I have hosted recently, with which these cables provided a welcome shot of adrenaline. Soundstage information is well-preserved via the Bowen/Chatham pairing, which excel in the forward plane, although width and depth information are equally well-preserved. Despite the tonal balance being more brightly lit than that of my Townshend cables, the entire frequency range remained remarkably integrated and, indeed, temporally correct. Often, when a component combines treble energy with poor timing, the result is unpleasant brightness, so the coherent musical results I got here are a credit to the Montaudios’ timing abilities. Unfortunately, excessive brightness proved an issue with the cheaper loom I tried in this system prior to installing the Montaudio set, so this substitution was a welcome relief. With suitably well-balanced components, these cables will thrill like few others at their price point.
I got great results with the Bowen AC-1 RCAs between the Bluesound Node Icon and Heed Canalot III headphone amp, feeding my Sendy Peacock headphones. Here, I noted significant improvements in all aspects of musical reproduction over the ageing resident Kimber cable. Again, speed, timing, and definition were highlights, but notably, the soundstage was now globe-like; Don Henley’s Boys of Summer (Qobuz 24/192) has never sounded so three-dimensional via headphones. Snoop Dogg’s Drop It Like It’s Hot (Qobuz 16/44) was suitably punchy and dynamic; the synths were more fleshed out, colourful and full-bodied. This is a cable that sounds fast and vivid without compromising the instrumental body, as is often the case.
Godley UH-1 USB 線材
Godley UH-1 採用銀混合導體設計，內含 4 股 22AWG 導體。與 Montaudio 的類比線材相似，Godley UH-1 也擁有木質外殼的鍍金接頭。相較於類比訊號，數位訊號對高頻噪聲的敏感度更高，因此 Godley UH-1 採用三層屏蔽設計 —— 包括兩層銅箔與一層 OFC 編織網，以有效降低干擾。此外，主要導體同樣使用高品質的聚乙烯介電層與天然棉填充物，線材相當柔軟，對於評測者來說更方便安裝與整理。線材直徑為 7.5mm，比 Bowen AC-1 略細，本文測試的版本為 1m。
在近期，我曾試聽過兩款市場上公認最優秀的 USB 線材 —— CAD USB-11-R 與 Network Acoustics 的 Muon2。這兩條線的表現已讓我相當挑剔，因此我先用一款價格與 Godley UH-1 相近的 USB 線作為基準，然後再切換至 Montaudio 進行比較。結果顯示，Montaudio 的聲音風格依然維持了一貫的時間掌控力，這也成為該品牌線材的核心優勢。然而，Godley UH-1 的表現並不止於此 —— 它的高頻滑順，聲音流暢且自然。當我將其安裝在 Melco N1 伺服器與 Moon 780D DAC 之間播放 Miles Davis 近期發行的 The Birth Of The Blue (24/192 Qobuz) 時，這款線材的時間掌控能力與細節詮釋能力得到了充分展現。其中，鼓刷的敲擊聲顯得更加自然，而貝斯的旋律則更富音樂感。John Coltrane 的薩克斯風雖然稍微向前推進了音場中的位置，但聲音圓潤而不過於刺耳，這點與相近價格的線材相比有顯著優勢。
Janet Kay 的 Silly Games 在這組線材上呈現出速度感與控制力兼備的頻率響應。高頻擁有令人驚豔的空氣感與解析度，鍵盤樂器的音色質感豐富且帶有實體感。低頻表現快速、紮實且具衝擊力，讓人忍不住隨著節奏擺動。當然，Muon2 在解析度與動態表現上更勝一籌，而 CAD USB 11-R 的聲音更厚實溫暖，但這兩款線材的價格分別為 £1,395 與 £1,500，遠超 Montaudio 的定價。然而，即使在這樣的比較下，Montaudio 仍然展現了強大的音樂表現力，Godley UH-1 與 Chatham、Bowen 線材一樣，是高端線材市場中值得關注的產品。
Godley UH-1 USB cable
This USB cable is a silver-hybrid design, this time with 4 x 22AWG cores. Similar to the analogue cables, the Godley EH-1 is adorned with wooden-covered, gold-plated connectors. Digital signals are perhaps even more susceptible to high-frequency noise than analogue, so to combat such evils it is triple-screened with two layers of copper foil and an OFC braid. Again, a high-quality polyethylene dielectric is used on the main conductors with a natural cotton filler. The cable is pretty flexible, which makes a reviewer’s life easier and is just slightly thinner than the Bowen AC-1 cable at 7.5mm in diameter. The sample tested here was the 1m version.
Having been spoiled recently by two of the very best USB cables on the market, the CAD USB-11-R and the muon2 from Network Acoustics, I began the listening session with a cable that is similarly priced to the Godley UH-1 and well-regarded. After a period of acclimatisation the Montaudio provided a welcome relief. Again, it was the timing that first impressed me, which seems to be a theme with Montaudio’s cables. The Godley UH-1 is far from a one-trick pony here, however. It has a lovely smooth top end and possesses a natural fluidity and tone. With it placed between my Melco N1 server and Moon 780D DAC, Fran-Dance from Miles Davis’s recently released The Birth Of The Blue (24/192 Qobuz) highlighted this cable’s greater timing skills. Here the brushed drum strokes sounded more natural, and the bass was more tuneful. John Coltrane’s saxophone was more rounded and less brash despite it being placed slightly further forward in the soundstage than via the similarly priced cable.
Janet Kay’s Silly Games sounded fast yet controlled across the frequency range. The top end was wonderfully airy yet precise, and the keyboards had real texture and body. The bass was fast, full, and punchy, which made it tough to stay still. The Muon2 takes things up a bar or two again in terms of resolution and excitement, and CAD’s USB 11-R is fuller and warmer without sacrificing resolution. However, they are considerably more expensive, at £1,395 and £1,500 respectively, and their superiority did not diminish the Montaudio cable’s compelling musical qualities. So, as with the Chatham and Bowen cables, the Godley UH-1 from Montaudio is a worthy addition to a well-populated market segment.
Rakaia EH-1 乙太網路線：展現 Montaudio 的極致解析力
延續 Godley USB 線材的命名傳統，Rakaia EH-1 乙太網路線以 Montaudio 發源地的一條河流命名。其鋼藍色外皮配上銀灰色編織層，象徵其銀鍍銅導體結構。內部採用 8 股 22AWG LC-OFC 銀鍍銅導體，並搭載三重屏蔽（兩層銅箔加上一層鍍銀 OFC 編織網），有效降低干擾，確保純淨的數位傳輸。線徑 9mm，相較一般乙太網路線較為厚實，但仍保有相當的柔韌性。Rakaia EH-1 端子部分則使用了高端的 Telegärtner MFP8 Cat 8.1 接頭，這在高階網路線材市場中廣受青睞。本文測試的 1 公尺版本。
與 Chord 2Go/Hugo2 串流系統的初步測試
首先，我將 Rakaia EH-1 連接至路由器與 Chord 2Go/Hugo2 便攜式串流 DAC，並驅動 Sendy Peacock 耳機。這次測試替換的是 Chord Co C-Stream 乙太網路線（定價 £62），這條線雖然是高品質網路線的良好入門選擇，但一經對比，Rakaia EH-1 立即展現出更開闊、活力四射且平衡偏亮的音色。
最顯著的提升來自於樂器分離度與低頻的紮實度，聲音更具凝聚力且細節豐富。我特別測試了 DSD 版本的 The Beach Boys 經典專輯《Pet Sounds》，透過 Rakaia 乙太網路線播放後，音樂的鮮活感與動態表現明顯提升，人聲更加飽滿，細節解析也更上一層樓。這對於《Pet Sounds》這類強調人聲層次與和聲的錄音來說，特別關鍵。
與 Melco S100 交換器 & Moon 780D 串流 DAC 的高端對決
接下來，我將 Rakaia EH-1 連接至 Melco S100 網路交換器與 Moon 780D 串流 DAC，並與我的 Audioquest Vodka 乙太網路線進行對比。Audioquest Vodka 以其豐富厚實的低頻與飽滿聲底而聞名，長期以來是 £500 以下價格區間的佼佼者。
在低頻厚度方面，Rakaia 確實比 Vodka 顯得更為纖細、凝聚，但整體表現卻讓人印象深刻。聲音舞台開闊，細節解析度極高，頻段間的平衡感極佳，尤其是在演繹古典音樂時，能夠精確再現錄音現場的自然殘響。
電子音樂的表現亦令人驚豔，例如 Mop Mop《Lunar Love》（Qobuz 16/44），透過 Rakaia EH-1 播放後，鼓聲的衝擊力、精確度與動態表現大幅提升，讓整首曲目聽起來更具能量感與臨場感。
挑戰極限解析力：Nils Frahm《Hammers》
最後，我選擇了 Nils Frahm 最新專輯《Paris》中的《Hammers》（Qobuz 24/96） 來測試 Rakaia EH-1 在高解析音樂中的表現。這首曲目對於系統的細節解析與動態表現有極高的要求，稍有不足便難以完全沉浸其中。然而，Rakaia EH-1 讓每一個鋼琴鍵的細微變化都清晰可聞，音樂彷彿在空間中流動，營造出龐大的音場。
令人驚喜的是，在這首曲目中，Frahm 在彈奏時會發出些許「哼唱」聲，而這些微小的聲音並未經過近距離收音，因此如果系統的解析度不夠高，這些細節往往難以察覺。然而，透過 Rakaia EH-1，這些「人聲細節」被清晰呈現，且在音場中的定位更為明確，這無疑展現了該線材在低噪訊環境下的強大解析力。
總結：適合發燒級串流玩家的極致選擇
Rakaia EH-1 定位明確，針對高階串流玩家設計，雖然售價相較一般網路線高昂，但其出色的音場表現、細節解析與時間掌控力，讓其成為值得考慮的投資選擇。對於講究純淨數位傳輸與極致解析度的發燒友而言，Rakaia EH-1 無疑是 Montaudio 又一款令人激賞的旗艦級線材。
Rakaia EH-1 ethernet cable
Following the theme of the Godley USB cable, the Rakaia Ethernet cable is named after a river in Montaudio’s homeland. The steel blue jacket has silver/grey braiding designating silver-plated copper, in the case of the Rakaia there are eight 22AWG silver-plated LC-OFC cores. This ethernet cable is triple-screened with two copper foil and one braided silver-plated OFC screen. With a diameter of 9mm it is a comparatively thick cable, but still a flexible one. The Rakaia EH-1 is terminated with high-end Telegärtner MFP8 Cat 8.1 connectors, which are a popular choice.
Initially, I placed the Rakaia EH-1 ethernet cable between my router and the Chord 2Go/Hugo2 portable streamer/DAC combo, feeding my Sendy Peacock headphones. This cable replaced a £62 Chord Co C-Stream cable, which marks a great entry point into the world of quality network cables. As expected, the Rakaia EH-1 upped the game significantly. Music now sounded more open and, much like the rest of Montaudio’s cables, more energetic and of a brighter balance. I noted a general improvement in instrumental separation and a fuller, firmer bass. A recently downloaded version of The Beach Boys’ classic Pet Sounds in DSD benefited considerably from the cable swap, which via the Rakaia now sounded considerably more vivid and dynamic. The vocals, which are so much a part of what makes this album special, sounded fuller and better resolved.
The next step was to try this cable in the main system between my Melco S100 switch and Moon 780D streaming DAC. For this I used my Audioquest Vodka ethernet cable for comparison. I have always considered it to be one of the best sub £500 cables available. It has a big sound, particularly in the lower frequencies, which are fuller and weightier than most cables at this price point. The Rakaia EH-1 sounded leaner in this respect but impressed overall with its big soundstage and forensic detail across the frequency range. It sounds more spacious than most and, as with the rest of the Montaudio range of cables, timing is a highlight. Well-recorded classical music benefited from the Rakaia’s ability to resolve the natural acoustic. Electronic music, such as Mop Mop’s Lunar Love from the album of the same name (Qobuz 16/44), sounded huge. Here, the drum sound impressed in terms of both impact, precision and vibrancy.
The final track on Nils Frahm’s latest album Paris, called Hammers (Qobuz 24/96), requires the system to deliver detail and precision if it is to involve the listener, and the Rakaia EH-1 proved the ideal companion. Now, I could follow every note produced by his elaborate keyboard, and the music expanded into my room within a cavernous soundstage. Nils’s ‘vocalising’ along with the music during this track, whilst picked up in this recording, was not closely mic’d and can be difficult to discern if your system lacks resolution. The Rakaia EH-1’s low-noise floor meant these, er, noises, were now easier to follow and brought them forward within the soundstage. At this price point, the Rakaia EH-1 is clearly aimed at the more committed streaming fan, but it produces such a thrilling performance that I have no doubt it will prove popular.
結論：Montaudio 在高端線材市場的嶄新勢力
高端線材市場競爭激烈，但 Montaudio 這一系列產品無疑佔有一席之地。其卓越的工藝品質與獨特的視覺設計，足以在聆聽前便吸引眾多發燒友的關注。音色方面，Montaudio 線材的風格確實偏向活力鮮明的一側，但其出色的控制力、時間掌控與整體協調性，在與不同音響組件搭配時，能夠帶來極具感染力的音樂體驗，展現鮮活動感的同時，並未過度明亮或失衡。
在長時間的使用過程中，我從未產生想要移除 Montaudio 線材的念頭，這本身便足以證明其價值。我相信 Montaudio 在未來將有更廣闊的發展空間。據悉，Montaudio 已在亞洲市場贏得不少擁護者，而憑藉這些優秀的線材表現，他們在全球市場的成功只是時間問題。
Conclusion
This area of the cable market does not lack competition, but this Montaudio range deserves a place within it. The build quality and visual impact will doubtless win admirers even before an audition. Their balance is definitely on the more vivacious side. Still, their control, timing qualities, and overall coherence fitted in well with the components I paired them with and produced enjoyable music that carefully walked the line between vividness and unnatural brightness. During the time they were with me, I felt no inclination to remove the Montaudio cables from the system, which speaks volumes. I can see a bright future for Montaudio, and it will be interesting to see how the brand develops over the next few years. I am told they have already gained a good following in the Asian market, and, on the basis of these cables, they are sure to prove popular across the globe sooner rather than later.
