I actually went with the Beterdynamic Xelento 2. I got them from Amazon (30 days of a problem free return policy) because i was looking for a musical sinlge DD set. I was also curious how they improved the 2nd generation as i have the Xelentos OG and im not a big fan of them anymore because of a heavy V-shaped sound.
So was thinking "just check them, and will send them back after the u12t humiliates them".
Boy oh boy was i wrong. The Xelentos are freaking amazing- big bold, controlled bass, great mids and buttery smooth, extremely detailed trebles.
I would describe them as a warmish neutral with big bass shelf. They are surprisingly neutral and natural, even the bass doesnt seem to play the main role.
Im actually shocked that they are as detailed as the u12t and even the stage seems more expansive.
You didn't expect this turn of events? Me neither
