More bass?

I heard the prototype of the revised K10 last week in Taipei, when it was in other clothing (they didn't have the finalized shells ready). Had to refrain from mentioning it until the show in Tokyo began.
 
It's been too long since I last heard the K10, so I can't do comparisons, but what I heard was the same liquid, spacious feel from what I remembered of the K10. Definitely a great listen.
 

  More bass? 

 
The new Kaiser has a little less bass, but my memory is hazy.
 
The "new Savant" has a little more bass.

New Kaiser (Encore?) looks great!  Looking forward to hearing impressions on how it's improved from the red K10Us.  Wish I knew an update was coming out before I bought one, but I guess that's just the name of the game.  There's always going to be something new around the corner.

Noble has been on a roll lately! Just auditioned the Katana today, I'm floored by how musical it is while being very clear and detailed at the same time. Absolutely masterful tuning.

Couldn't agree more! Is musically neutral a term? It should be.

They introduced a whole new lineup right after I got my 4C :'(

Not a massive revision. The main thing is that they switched over to their custom-ordered proprietary drivers, which allows them to get closer to what they want as the ideal sound for the K10. There is a slight change in signature as a result (the crossover needs to be redesigned).

I see, thank you very much for the insight!

Is the whole line-up (bar Katana) being revised using the proprietary drivers then? Exciting!

based off what i read. the kaiser encore has a sound signature between the katana and the original k10. sounding slightly clearer. expected to be released at the end of year.

as for the sage, its a 2 ba model.

Yeah... Yep. I'm boned. I need that in my life. Time to pick a kid to sell.
