Tomahawk on a tube amp might be nice :)

It was bright but was it Rose Mojito bright? From my memory when I had the tomahawk i felt it was quite sharp but nothing like first hearing the mojito.

Maybe they peak in different areas and thus different for our ears.

different kind of bright. the mojito is bright because of the recessed mid section, giving them a perceived distance between the music and the ears. this also makes the mojito's soundstage spacious and wide.

the Tomahawk is really intimate sounding, and while the treble is not too bright per se, but it's kinda "abrasive sounding"

i think eq would work on mojito, whereas using high impedance adapter might work to tame the tomahawk

That's true my EQ'd mojito sounds more intimate and balanced with detail but a more natural less grainy-distant mid range. That's the only way I'll use it now.

I guess the tomahawk was pretty in your face but its so long since i heard it i cannot be sure of its exact sound.

I changed my mk3 to donut foams i definitely like them more, easily my best bud right now, and the edifier 185 is a close second im impressed by the price quuality ratio especially for metal lovers, it is less polished than the mk3 sure (and brighter, mk3 with donuts feel more neutral to me) but i love the raw sound they have they pair really good with Death and early Opeth. With the mk3 i have been rocking some Antonio Sanchez and Gojira, the mk3 protrays drums amazingly well.

here you go friend.
These a very good but extremely fragile, I already teared some by just trying to put them normally on MX500 classic shells. I recommend buying at least 3 lot of 100 foams (cost nothing anyway).

And compared to Blox TM9 ?

TM9 is smooth and relaxing, which is quite different from MK1 Special. Otherwise the actual SQ isn't that far off.
