Hi guys, has anyone done a comparison between the Leo II and Thor bespoke? Just wondering what differences there are ie soundstage, air, extension etc? Toying with the idea to get a Leo II again for my A12t.

Maybe @Deezel177 can advise He's here in the EA HQ!

Lucky Deezel! Hope you're enjoying it or is that a silly question?

The Thor Bespoke offers a taller, deeper stage with a greater perception of holographic layering. To be honest though, the difference is very minor, which is a fantastic achievement given the Leonidas II’s 4-wire design. Instruments sound more laid-back and matter-of-fact on the Thor Bespoke. The Leonidas II’s lower-mids are wetter, warmer and more organic. The Thor Bespoke’s low-end is more concentrated, punchy and airy, but the 8-wire design gives it the headroom and depth to pull it off. The Leo II has a slightly warmer low-end with better cohesion with the low-mids. I think you’ll get a presentation with a better balance between naturalness and expansion with the Leonidas II, while the Thor Bespoke’s leans more towards the latter than the former. But to the Leonidas II’s credit, air, extension and treble quality between the two are largely the same, with the Leonias II possessing a hair more body. With the A12t, I’d probably recommend the Leonidas II more to refine the low-end, and instill more body onto the lower-mids.

Wow, thank you for the vid....very cool! . A big thank you for taking the time to compare the cables too, that was a very helpful write-up. I think I'll be picking up a Leo II soon. I already have the Thor Bespoke so I know how awsome that is but you can never try too many cables eh? Have a great time there today with the EA team.

Sorry to hear that, Daniel. You know, I was just joking, but didn't realize they actually made you clean the toilet
