Don`t think that the AMT does good bass. Not much (nothing) bass with my ESS AMT in main speaker system.

My Heddphone is really solid driving bass. AMT bass is somewhere between the STAX bass and Audezee bass. Very tight and very detailed, but with that electrostatic aura

Have the Heddphone on my list for a long time. Maybe the Hedd2 in 2024 or a cheap used Hedd 1.

You can find sometimes cheap Hedds in the classifieds. Go with version 1 confidently as seems that sound-wise both versions are simmilar. The only problem with version 1 is size and short headband

What would be the difference in sound between two and quad estats?

And this is precisely what I don't understand neither in the Seraph+ nor in the enigma AMT+. What sense does it make to place an electret (wrongly called electrostatic) like the sonion (a tweeter) together with two other tweeters of excellent quality, like an xmems (with a better treble quality than a sonion, in my opinion) and an AMT (on paper it is also more refined than an electret)?

The plus models in my opinion make no sense to me. The Seraph is fantastic in treble without the need for electrets. The enigma, I'll be able to tell you soon. Moreover, the absence of crossovers only increases the uselessness of an electret.

On Seraph there were good treble but a small step behind good EST drivers how they were realized on Astra or now on Enigma+

On my ears i prefer Seraph highs then Semper, opus mia or clairvoyance (the ones i have with sonions electrets). But i think i'm biased against ESTs. To me they make the sound lose coherence and good tonality (my only coincidence ever with crinacle...)

The best high sound i have ever listen in IEMs comes from electrostatic drivers (Shure), and the amazing TIA drivers in 64 audio IEMs

Double post, sorry

 

[Shadowelite]

Some good info here
Well i cant wait to hear what they sound like
I just wish bob could elaborate his tuning with the drivers but if we cant even get the correct tracking numbers, i doubt we would get the correct driver info lol

So what mems do we have them? They have about 5 versions on xmems website

I must say that those photos and what you can see from the nozzle in the seraph are not similar to anything in catalog in xMEM. Maybe another source, but, if I remember correcly, the only one that make full range mems is xmem.

Yes brother, you are right.

Isn't the only company making mems, xmems?
I might email xmems and send them that photo and ask if thats there mems lol

Xmems are not the first to market with a MEMS based driver. The driver that the Enigma and Seraph are using are from the Ganymede series from USound.

You find it!

But all they offer seems to be only tweeters, not full range

Nice one
