stupid me I didn't realize that it has a DD. Give that a listen for me I'd be interested in hearing how it sounds. I like DD, but sometimes I don't like how the bass can sometimes muddy the mids
Also, keep in mind Trio is DD + 2BAs hybrid where one of the BAs is TIA driver. I did listen to universal demo of N8t at Canjam NYC, only brief listening (unfortunately, wasn't able to make it back on Sunday), and by memory (take it with a grain of salt) it did sound smooth and lush, not muddy or congested, detailed but not on the same revealing level as U12t, definitely with more emphasis toward the warmer, bassier side. Since U8 was considered to be the one with the most bass impact out of the whole line up, I assume N8t is derived and scaled up from it, though despite "8" there are actually 9 drivers in there. Furthermore, for now N8t is Custom only, not universal (yet?).
