Finally got the chance to give the Solitaire P a listen at my local dealer. These are my impressions after about 2 hours of listening time (with the accompanying T+A HA200 amplifier).
Fit
Shockingly good. Weight distribution and clamp force (not to mention the super plush and luxurious pads) are so spot you forget you're wearing headphones almost immediately. I think it's more comfortable than my seasoned HD600.
Tonality
Bass goes as low as any other high end planar I've heard with impact/slam that's better than Susvara, losing out only to Abyss TC. Transition between mid bass and lower mids is also seamless, with appropriate note weight. The upper mids and highs are present (listen to Ether 2 for an example of a headphone with no highs), but there are portions of it that sound thin and somewhat distant. This makes the headphone sound not quite coherent with the lower registers having the right amount of body while the upper registers sounding thin.
Technicalities
Transients are slightly fuzzy and there is an impression that it isn't as fast as some cheaper planars (this may be preferable to some). Stage width is average and depth is below average, with all sounds seeming to come from the same distance, if that makes sense.
Final Thoughts
While it's great to see a well respected 2-channel manufacturer invest in headphone development, it would have been even better if the price reflected that this was the company's first attempt. I'm passing on this but I hope T+A continues in this space and am excited to see what they come up with next.
Also a few words on the HA200 dac/amp. Aesthetically stunning, especially those VU meters. The 8ohm output impedance is puzzling. Even more puzzling is that there are settings for output impedance but the minimum is 8ohm and it goes all the way up to 80ohm! Why??? I personally follow the 1/8 rule for impedance matching so I wouldn't pair the HA200 with anything below 60ohm.
