Oh, for sure. The treble energy and extension is part of what makes its 3D performance so incredible. Along with the semi-open shell, which is why I doubt closed shells can compete with the air, distancing, and sheer sense of space it provides. I'll try this S12 out and see, though I doubt it will out-do Timeless for sense of space and imaging, but could possibly out-do Hook-X for both.
Admittedly, I don't play FPS games, mainly GTA5, car racing and others. I find in GTA5 the FD5 didn't really give me the sense of direction I thought it would and car engines, gun fire could get fatiguing. The S12 is smoother up top but has the same big sound as the FD5, but with larger scale/body. The FD5 has bit more air and being the thinner sounding has some more detail, but again, S12 (for me) let's me hear exactly where explosions are coming from.
Musically they are both very different. Driven well, I like different things from both signatures best.
