Drew / Audionotions 9 Reviewer Score
Amazing separation and presentation, amazing bass that extends down low and hits pretty authoritavely (not just in the context of BA sets - very good quantity and quality). Pretty interesting tuning with dialed down upper mids so certain instruments and voices seem more in front of you. Pretty clear sense of center image. Previously Owned

TOTL tech. Mid-scoop can affect mids/vocal texture and placement, recessed midrange, treble is harsh at high volumes. Great bass detail, but could have more impact.
