So just to be clear:
 
Hunter    = 1DD + 4 BA
Master 6 = 2DD + 4 BA
 
?

I believe that is correct Kundi, the single DD in the Hunter is a Dual Voice Coil if iirc and not a push pull

^ Yep and who knows if the BA's are the same. 99% of the time on this site when we talk about BA drivers, we talk as if theres only one model that everyone uses. Its odd considering we at this point are pretty good at picking up on, at the very least, the various dynamic driver sizes, materials, and set-ups.

There is also the "vectoring" mentioned on the product page, which is presumably Bobtrinity 's take on directing the sound of the BA drivers in the casing to make it more coherent? That would account for the larger shell compared to the "puck" shape of the Master 6. Care to shed any light, Bob?

All these people talking about flagships, while casuals like me are just waiting for the Sabre's exact shipping date..

I dont think they are, vaguly remember bob saying the M6 was 2x dual BA + push pull; the hunter was 4 x BA of a different make + the dynamuc voice coil a different make. Maybe completly wrong ofc and getting myself mixed up.

Edit:

Different drivers, different tuning, tuning filters not the same as M6 and different build materials, so err nope

Order #2554 Looking forward to hearing from Bob anything on how the Hunter compares to the Master 6.

Exactly Midge, I mean the Hunter is only 150 pounds more than the M6! I'm thinking if I have the Sabre's and the M4 why not just bypass the M6 in favor of the Hunter since it is a different animal altogether and a no holds barred build to boot

 

 

No, that's a bad idea. You'll always be wondering "What if…?" Slowly that question will eat away at you heart and soul until you end up in a rubber room. Just get 'em all, your well-being depends on it.

Yeah thats what I mean. From memory, the BA drivers in the M6 are made by Sonion, and will likely be just one of a number of different dual-BA models they make. In contrast, the M4 uses two single BAs instead of just one of the dual BAs. I don't think Bob has specified anything about the BAs in the Hunter? Except different, as you quoted, haha. 
 
If we reduce it to that, the M6 looks like a much better deal than the Hunter. And its why the driver count race works, unfortunately. I saw the fuss last year in the Noble thread when it became apparent the Savant 'only' contains two BA drivers at its price point.

For those asking about colour on the Hunter the current images are the anodised gunmetal ones, the heat treated ones will be unique to each costumer as the heat treating colours them.

Here is an example


But they can turn out lots of colours .

As for the size they fit beautifully

Tuning is different on Hunter from the 6 and drivers are different .

The sound is simply beautiful and even I am blown away!
