Retains all the techs of the 622b with a more tamed bass presentation, overall arguably more balanced sounding than the 622b Bass transition to lower midrange may not work well for slower genres requiring a higher midbass shelf; less versatile

Youtube Video Summary

Canpur’s CP74E steps in as the “just-under-flagship” sibling to the CP622B, packing 7 balanced armatures + 4 EST (11 drivers) and a neutral-warm tuning. The graph shows a tidy ~10 dB box from 20 Hz–20 kHz with no wild spikes, and the presentation reads vocal-centric: clear, natural mids without bloated mid-bass or shouty ear-gain. Sub-bass doesn’t hit with the same bone-conducted heft as the 622B, yet the low end is clean and modern for a BA stack, making it hard to distinguish from a dynamic driver on many tracks.

Instrument timbre is a highlight: four- and five-string bass lines showcase lifelike plucks, releases, and string ring; kick drum authority sits in a similar energy window to 64 Audio’s U12t—not a bass cannon, but solid, warm drive. Treble looks slightly more extended past 8 kHz on paper, though in practice the upper harmonics don’t come across as notably brighter. The real gap with the 622B isn’t up top—it’s the 50–500 Hz region, where the flagship’s BCD magic brings extra life, reverb, and decay; the CP74E stays more polite and traditional, albeit with high-quality resolution.

Positioned around $2,700, the CP74E competes strongly with peers and earns a confident “would buy” verdict. It’s the set to choose when the 622B is out of reach but the goal is excellent vocals, realistic instrument texture, and a warm, refined balance. Not the throne usurper—that stays with the 622B—but a serious contender that should fare well against heavy hitters like Grand Maestro and Storm in broader comparisons.

Punchy bass with some bass body bloat. Pleasant, euphonic vocal timbre with good note body. Decent treble minus the lower/mid-treble dip.
