Extremely smooth and organic sounding warm mids and truly phenomenal when the correct genres are being played. Technicalities are competent. Tonally does not work as an all rounder. Extremely high price and low availability. Perceived technicalities are often covered by tuning. Cheaper alternatives argubly exist.
