Comment: Didn't buy since harmonics for cymbals too prominent. Inoffensive tuning, one of the more balanced sounding planars Soundstage and imaging are decent at best

Mid-treble heavy. Extention is great and bass has tactility to it. The BA switch is a joke - Don't use it.

Sounds best with the BA switch off. Somewhat thin, mid-treble oriented sound.
