Reviewer Score
Limp bass, but good mid-range and treble tuning. Techs felt underwhelming for its price, with extremely blunted transients.

Colored tonality done correctly with incredible bass and dynamics. Upper-treble can be slightly too zingy depending on source. Precogvision Youtube Channel

Excellent bass, dynamics, and resolution. Very large soundstage with great imaging. Mid/upper-treble may be too elevated for some.

Reviewer Score
Great bass, holographic stage and top of the shelf dynamics. Probably my favourite rendition of a W-shaped tuning to this date. Treble might be spicy for some, but using Divinus Velvets (stock black) seem to help a lot.
