Terriffic warm tuning only sinning by the lack of better bass dynamics. Treble is relaxed but "flat" with terrific extension. Works wonders for poorly recorded tracks.

Great set for jazz/blues/soul/acoustic. Thick and lush. Warm but with nice treble extension. Solid tech. Vocals can be overly husky and buried in busier songs.
