That't a nice chart there, makes total sense of a rather complex idea.
My biggest fear or hesitation is when someone, who has never experienced any of these amps, reads this and walks away thinking V281/V280 are warm, syrupy, dark amps. Totally not the case at all. It's just a touch of flavor, mainly caused by the lows being so potent and well defined. Likewise I wouldn't want anyone to think the Niimbus sound is bright, thin, etched, etc. The US4+ is absolutely effortless in dynamics, weighty, rich, textured bass, etc. It just has such clear midrange and treble that the focus is not drawn to the lower registers like it might be on the V281.
