Paul Wasabii:

Endgame-level
mid-centric tuning with transparent mids, expansive imaging and stage, tactile LSR bass, and cohesive, effortless EST treble.
Mid-centric
balance and elevated bass can feel heavy on some classical and prefers flat sources; treble engagement may underwhelm V-shaped listeners.
