out of curiosity, what tips are you using?

My only niggle with Volt, bass can sound bloated and undisciplined

Granted it's not the snappiest and fastest but bloated and undisciplined?

Aside from tips, which source are you using... Volt is deceptive, you can drive it loud enough easily with most sources but it needs good power to sound its best and bass control is affected by lesser sources.

Yes, Volt bass does sound so, to me, sometimes—with all the usual caveats, eg source, song selection. I would also say, it can bleed into mids, too. But my description is informal. I mean, this is a discussion thread not a repository for legal depositions.
As far as source goes, it’s the EST portion of Volt drivers which may especially benefit from hi powered output. The DD bass, much less of an issue.
I’ve tried numerous tips. I’d certainly be willing to experiment further upon suggestion.

ePro Horn Tips

Some here had excellent results out of the Globes' bass. Maybe this'll work on the Volts, too...

Side question: I just found out this annoying trait of inverted starline tips yesterday (my first attempt at inversion). If you push them in to get a better seal, the top of the tips deforms and gets deeper. But after some time there is a pop sound and it regains its shape, and looses some of the seal. The only way to counter this is what I did with the tri flange tips in the beginning, pinch my ear to make the canal bigger and then push them in (I don't need to do it anymore though as my ear has gotten used to the tri flange). Is there any other way?

Hold & lift.

The ePro horns are very soft, easily deformed.
But w/ practice, and getting used to the insertion, inserting deep is not necessary

They will be situated below (shaded red)

Your required reader about the Penon Globes. Lots of comparisons on this one.

Globes + the Inverted E-pro Horn tips = my tip toes are in the Flagship Lounge.
I can assure you this equation...

My epro horn tips arrived today. I have not tried inverting them. I need to use the small size. Their effect is just wow! I am getting increased soundstage in all directions. An opening of up of the midrange to the degree but different than the DUNU transparency tips. Instrument separation seems subtly increased. The treble has a bit more air. Penon should pack in the epro horn tips with the Globe. Thank you for the epro horn recommendation!

Here is a piece that really showcases the Globe’s spatial cues, mids, and treble. Bass ain’t bad, either.

Actually, @KutuzovGambit 's idea, i just remembered the inverted tweaks from our fellow headfiers...

So on a whim I decided to get Penon Fan to check it out, before I even share some impressions let me share some pics, these babies look stunning for the price I love the shells :

And the box is pretty nice as well

It's been burning in for a couple of days, impressions coming soon

How long does it take to ship a cable from Penon audio to east coast USA ? Can you email them and pay for faster shipping? About to snag a cs819

48-72 hours to NYC. It really is mind blowing how they do it. Unlike Linsoul

Thanks, for correcting me. Thank you for the ePro Horn recommendation, @KutuzovGambit !

Let me know how many hours you burned in and the subsequent impression.

I did not burn them in...their initial sound did not impress me much, cannot find the urge to properly burn them in. The crispness I was hoping would be there is simply is not there.
