Sound Analysis

Sub-Bass is neutral, offering enough presence without overpowering. There's a musical and elegant quality to the bass response. Bass texture hits with forceful presence and physicality. Midrange fundamentals stay soft and clean. Upper mids feel balanced and stay comfortably in check. Lower treble adds a even amount of sparkle. Treble peaks sound sharp and light, enhancing spatial perception. A broad stereo image opens up the mix beautifully. Details are crisp and bring music to life. There’s an clearly defined sense of space between musical elements. Slight masking occurs but remains coherent overall. Weight feels stable, neither too light nor too dense. Slam is even, giving a dynamic feel without overdoing it. Sibilance is open but well-handled, avoiding harshness. Timbre is well-tuned with a touch of coloration. It presents a true-to-life tonality with small deviations. There’s enough definition to highlight instrument character.
