Yeah, There is actually a peak in the upper midrange with both of these ~2.4-2.5. The difference is that in the case of the Ostry this peak is followed by a fairly large and lengthy dip. The Tenore isn't slightly more linear either, it's a lot more linear. The Ostry is smartly tuned so it's less noticeable than it usually is, but it's full of peaks and dips. I can't agree more about the attack and decay though, the difference in transducer speed is night and day and it's also the reason i like the KC06 almost as much as the Tenore, because its tonality is nowhere near as good (tonality is always one of my primary concerns with audio gear).
If anyone is interested in a more in depth comparison between the two, i posted this in the Ostry thread ten days ago.
Since i haven't listened to the GR07 for more than a year i avoided bringing it up in my comparison, but going by memory i'd say that the Ostry is as fast as the Vsonic, but less linear and tonally correct. The Vsonic also has more depth to its soundstage and a more accurate (but still slightly flawed) imaging. Where the KC06 beats it is in the treble, which isn't perfect, but it's a lot less fatiguing. I've ordered another GR07 hoping to find a way to tame the 6.5khz peak somehow. I should have it in my hands in a couple of days, so i will be in a better position to offer comparisons.
It's your niece right? It's to be expected. I've spoiled my sister so much that i am sure her future husband will be cursing me silently every day. It's like i can't pronounce "No" when i am talking to her

I agree with everything eke said sep for the scoop that I don't remember hearing and the bass being tighter. Maybe the Tenores sub bass contrast made me recall it as tighter when it's not but it seems I'll never get the loaner KC06 from that chick known as "family".
I know not what I've done wrong...
