New driver and collaboration on tuning with Crinacle. It's released on their sister brand to further differentiate from 7Hz lineup and their Timeless.
Nobody knows whether any of this equates to be 'better' performance than Timeless.
I have a feeling the subbass will be very palpable as planar, if given the space, can produce good flex with good implementation. The tuning makes me think they are not prioritising 'slam' / impact of the midbass and instead a cleaner low midrange with subbass for atmosphere. The whole sig suggests atmosphere has been prioritised with its deep subbass, extended high frequency and controlled pinna.
7hz seems really intent on cornering the planar market. Makes sense. They need to build on the wild success of the Timeless. And this time it has to be significantly better sounding because there’s already plenty of competition in the space Timeless occupies now.
