I had done well with my purchasing until recently. Need to go on another stretch of not buying now. Purchased the Woo Mini for 400, the Cayin ru7 for 188, and the Top for 450. The Woo brings a different flavor to my music and is one of the best investments I have made in a long time. I could have taken all of that money and purchased the Twilight or the Monarch.

Timmy's new colab with Dunu is a 2dd+4ba hybrid

Interesting since the DDs are two separate units of different sizes. Probably one for subbass and other for midbass duties. I have not tried anything from Dunu yet. At the moment, I am not in the market for anything new, though.

NiceHCK Himalaya
Let us know if Himalaya has "unnatural mids" (Gizaudio's Timmy's assessment).
Surgeon General warning:
Burn/break in naysayers, please jump to the next comment. As the following could harm your reality:

On single DD setups, that could benefit from a good workout, the symptom that I find most common, are pinched or shallow vocals, out of the box. Not saying every DD will come out of the process for the better, but there’s always hope.

I received these sets last week ago. Will put an initial impression on them later on.

Kinera Verdandi arrived yesterday. First impressions are very positive. Soundstage rivals that of the MEST and Z1R.
😲

Can be, since actually Verdandi are tuned after EE Odin.

And comparing Odin with Mest, they both have wide soundstage and sharp imaging with Odin are more refine and balance, not as crispy as Mest

Wide soundstage is result of tuning and placement of drivers? Or some other special sauce?
