Most of the reviews I’ve read say the only difference is in the tuning.

My preset. Based on Oratorys.
Using another measurement, I have the EQ computer
determine the following frequency response with your values .
This looks very good, especially in the high-tone area .
In the bass area I have a small change over Your values are made 😀

Here a small explanation, which change
i made to Hamann:

Band 1 - Bass shelf -2.5dB
(reduction bass total)

Band 2 - Bass peak + 1.5dB at 150Hz
(Increase in PHYSICALLY perceptible slam.
Instructed by Dan Clark. Video from 15:00 min.)

Band 3 - 210Hz peak +0.5dB
(Add some warmth)

Band 4 - 1270hz Peak -2dB
(Reduction of shoutiness. Makes the overall sound warmer and more pleasant).

Band 5 - high shelf 1800Hz -0.5dB
(Subtle reduction of the overall high)

Band 10 - 9500hz peak -1db
(Subtle reduction of silbilance)

Too bad, no comparison with Utopia 2022

Thats easy.....differences to my MG and my Nutopia
Resolution, precision, impact, accuracy in the low range are the main differenes between the French flagship and the Clear MG
(The tonal presentation of the MG has to my ears a kind of slight veiling over the whole spectrum....and this cannot be corrected with the DSP/EQ)
But for 1.500 euros that's not a big drawback ... there are many others at far higher prices that can participate with their tonal performance at most at a freak show
(Sorry for my strict words 😎)

NOMAX

PS.lol

genau ....mich gibts nur einmal... glaube Deutsch Reden ist hier verboten... auf suche weniger....aber warte auch auf den von Nomax angekündigten Austrian Audio der dies Jahr kommen soll

In the fall then as I mentioned before,will I comment on this in more detail publicly👍

NOMAX

PS.and do not worry,with the C........ I will be extra strict 😈
Just because I am an Austrian does not mean that there is a bonus from my side

I have today again unpacked the OG Utopia, it really depends on what genres you listen to, so who only hears jazz and classical music
can also stay with the OG in my opinion 👍
Who, however, as I listen to other genres should be the Nutopia to listen to lead
It simply sounds more relaxed and at the same time more dynamic in its tonal performance👍
(Maybe the high excursion from the transducer comes out better with the new grill)

But the silver lemo plugs, i don't like at all.
I will replace them as soon as possible against black.
