I recently received the Alessandro MS-1.
They seem a little bright. I listened to U2 - Achtung Baby, which is a pretty dynamic album, lots of highs and lows, and just lots of crap going on, right.
The MS-1 seems to pick up the highs TOO well.
I have to say sometimes it's actually a distraction. Like in one U2 song, The Fly, there was a tambourine (yes a tambourine) in the background. Fine, but I couldn't stop paying attention to it because it was SO IN MY FACE. (Or my left ear to be precise.)
Is this what they mean by the MS-1 having a "fun" sound? Everything is very clear and even. Is it possible to hear all the instruments too clearly? Can this not be slightly irritating?
Is it considered bright? Very bright? I'm afraid it's going to be fatiguing. And Alessandro only gives you a week to return them.
I do realize their attributes as well, don't get me wrong. I thought the bass was going to be too much, due to its rock reputation. But it was well controlled, nothing extravagant.
If anyone could just briefly share their knowledge or experience along these lines I'd be so appreciative.
Many thanks,
Frip
