Now that's interesting, more forward mids AND more spacious? Some say with headphones that mids can sound withdrawn or diffuse when the staging is wide & big. Yet ya'll with the demo Atrium say the mids are a standout feature along WITH its wide and deep staging ability. Wonder how this affects overall macro-contrast across the whole FR.More forward than the Verites but not as forward as the Auteur to my ears. In other words, just right.
The "weight" that Zach talks about in the video is very real and I appreciate it with the VC. Interested to hear how the weight of sound and big staging is balanced with Atrium.
Detail retrieval aside, how does layering and separation on the Atrium hold up to both VO/VC? Especially considering this is the most open sounding ZMF by design.
Questions open to anyone who's heard the demo units. The copper grill is stunning against the black background behind it (as it is on all ZMF's), I could imagine this in a darker or even a stone grey colored wood tone for an even more gothic look. Seems like Atrium is the new ZMF TOTL take on both neutral and soundstaging.
