Early Impressions
Just some very general first impressions of the sound.
I chose the Bass+ port and the treble+ port to start with because eh.., well just because.
This means of course that this is just a first impression of one particular possible combination, but hey, I have to start somewhere.
Source: Cowon X5, no amp, FLAC.
Music: Shirley Horn: The Main Ingredient.
First reaction: Good. Smooth. Natural. Relaxed. Friendly, not forward.
I am very happy that this combination lacks in a few very important aspects: it has no hisssss whatsoever, no edginess, no sibilance, no harshness.
HD650 immediately sprang to mind. I really like the HD650 very much and the general sound signature of this combination reminds me in a lot of aspect of them.
Back to the music: Shirley’s voice sounds just right. The right timbre. The right size, not overly large and not in-your-face. Well balanced with the rest of the combo.
The music flows very well. It is one well balanced whole more than separate instruments. Not overly detailed (but we’ll see what different port combinations can do in this respect.). Tonality of the different instruments is good though.
Another big plus: totally non-fatiguing.
Back to some more listening now.
To be continued.
