I am not ready to pick katana over my k10u if the katana just gives better treble but less bass hit

I heard the Katana, it sucks. Feel better, because I really didn't hear them, just trying to ease your pain.

Wata strikes again!!

Agreed, although I haven't heard the K10 yet.

As a quiet and happy owner of first generation Savant, is there any different in the new generation savant?
I did use the search option but nothing came up, thanks

Besides the shell and faceplate, no.

This is my K10, Mojo and OTG cable (under the flap in the lid) storage box. Good fit, sturdy and water resistant.

Ok folks
 
I spent the day watching people demo the Katana at the Tokyo show.   The comments were positive, but that could be because I was standing over their shoulder....
 
But the comments were essentially this.
 
 
 
1) "The Katana gave me goose bumps"       Not sure if that is a good thing, but I'll take that as a good thing
 
2) "I own the K10's and I prefer the K10s over the Katanas"
 
3) "I prefer the Katanas over the K10's"
 
4) "Sound so realistic and open"
 
5) "Was considering another brand, but now I want the Katanas"
 
6) "The Katanas are not as heavy as the K10"
 
 
 
 
That about sums things up
 
Again, I was there shaking hands, meeting folks, etc etc.   They could have been just being very polite, so all I can do, is repeat what was said
 
 
 
Cheers

^I am happy to do the hard work of testing those claims, for free

I am anxious to hear the Katana's at RMAF this fall. The K10's continue to be my primary reference CIEM's.

Considering I just ordered the K10, I'm not upset in any way about missing Katana. From the description, I am fairly certain I'd enjoy the K10 better anyway. Still very interested in impressions.

I just wish the K10 was more expensive so I knew I had the true TOTL offering from Noble.

Or maybe the katanas could be less expensive?

Nope, doesn't work that way, prices must always increase!!

Plus the Katana uses proprietary drivers. That means that the drivers in the Katana have been specced by and are built for Noble exclusively, which probably means smaller production runs and a higher cost per driver than other mix and match BA drivers which are built in larger quantities.

Would you or Brannan please say what the sound difference is vs the K-10?

What does that mean driver wise? Are they different sizes? Unique? Different ohms? Only Noble can use these specific drivers?

Will the Katana be available to demo at the HK AV Show?
