Average Technical & Tuning Grades
Average Tunign Grade
B+- The tuning leans easygoing, yet occasional unevenness nudges it away from greatness. A bit of EQ polish can smooth things nicely.
Average Technical Grade
B- An honest, middle-of-the-road performance preserves structure without chasing micro-detail. It's respectable for everyday listening sessions.
Kbear Diamond Scorings
Average Technical & Tuning Grades
Average Tunign Grade
C-- It struggles with balance, producing a lumpy response that rarely sounds coherent. Genre hopping highlights glaring inconsistencies.
Average Technical Grade
C-- The tuning renders a cramped window into the music, with nuance fading fast. Expect grainy textures to creep in.
