Hmmmm....interesting things going on with my comparison between the FA1 and an EQ’d FA7 - through an ES-100. I listened to the FA1s extensively this morning and I was really impressed by the vocals and higher frequencies. Lots of detail, lots of separation. Lows are ok, mid bass ok. Wish it had a tad more!!
This afternoon listened to the same songs using a FA7s EQ’d to Brooko’s settings which balanced everything out with the large mid bass inherent in the FA7s. Have to say they still sound veiled compared to the FA1s..even with some mild EQ.
Did a little back and forth comparison and I really starting to like the FA1s more and more. Question is....will those detailed highs be fatiguing over time.
I know I keep saying this but what I want is a middle ground solution!!
More to come later.
