Thunderously deep bass and decent technicalities around. Better than Grand Maestro from having less treble sharpness/sibilance. Very difficult to drive (more than STORM) and NEEDS power to make the bass reach it's potential. Tonally sounds bright despite talks all being about bass. Mids aren't the smoothest.
