C+- Flawed execution of tonal character. Noticeable peaks/dips affect timbre and coherence. May suit specific genres but lacks refinement.
Average Technical Grade
B- Competent but unremarkable. Decent detail retrieval in quieter tracks, though busy sections challenge cohesion. Imaging is average, lacking depth.

Feels like a more neutral take on the T8iE, though I'm not sure if it works. Sounds off overall. Crin Youtube Channel

Reviewer Score
Better low-end texture and overall more engaging than MK2, but lacks the mid-range/vocal magic, so depending on your preference either is great. Still TOTL tech like MK2. Great all-rounder. Jays Audio Youtube Channel

More bass, treble, and detail than the Monarch MK II. The vocal magic of the Monarch MK II is gone. I prefer the Monarch MK II for its tonality, vocals, and timbre, but I get why some prefer the MK III.Gizaudio Axel original ranking

Still perplexingly poor bass performance, but improves upon the Monarch MKII's treble extension noticeably. Precogvision Youtube Channel

Elevated, well-textured mid-bass. Pleasant mids. Elevated upper-treble may be pesky to some.

Reviewer Score
Strengths: Better bass response compared to the mk2. Weaknesses: Trades off the lush midrange in place of a cleaner sounding, almost boring midrange.

7.1
Reviewer Score
An improvement in the bass and treble department over the Mk2, but without the same special sauce in the mid-range and with some imaging problems still.
