Slightly more tame than the Crimson but more well-rounded as a result. Something like a slightly refined U12t.

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.
