Slightly more technical version of the OG TEAs. Thumpier low end, and treble is more extended. Less forward presentation. Stage has more depth. Can't scale as well as OG. Vocals are not as "magical" as OG.

Mini-Monarch MK3 with less bass and details. 80% there. Harmanish tuning, and best all-rounder before Studio 4.

A little odd in some parts of the treble and detailing could use some work, but nothing offensive overall.

Poor bass performance and sounds like surface-level detailing due to mid-treble recession despite great frequency response.

A technical upgrade over the OG version, with more balanced tunning. Sub-bass is good but has more mid-bass now than OG. Treble also got a boost and less refined, but has better extension.

Good sub-bass but lackluster impact in the mid-bass. Mid-range is fine, but could use more separation/layering. Good techs for the price.
