It's a sibling to the Atrium Open, so I think it's a co-flagship, and thus on-par with Verite Closed. :relaxed:

Since you're in NY, you should come hear it at CanJam NYC 2023 next weekend!

Whoa… I must be living under a rock… where will it be in the lineup, above the Verite or below?
I love my Verite Closed in Olive!

@zach915m will have the Atrium Closed for demo at CanJam NYC this weekend, and also a few unique woods will be available at the show only. The AC is expected to be available a few weeks later for order.

There was a discussion with Zach and Bevin on @TylersEclectic YT channel a few weeks back and at the Atrium Closed was discussed there (among other 2023 announcements).

Zach paraphrased it as having a similar downslope FR like the Eikon, but embodying everything he's learned since releasing the Eikon (both use the biocellulose drivers).
Perhaps what the Atrium was to the Auteur, the Atrium Closed will be to the Eikon :)

Zach described it as a “Super Eikon” but with the sub bass presence being subdued in the Atrium I doubt the Atrium Closed & Eikon will sound alike. The Atrium isn’t V-Shaped at all and I think Eikon is quite V-shaped so I’m sure like all ZMF’s it’ll sound different enough to own both.

Looking forward to some impressions and reviews. I’m saving up to purchase a VC again or the Atrium Closed if it suits my preferences.

Looks like I won't be escaping Canjam this year without another purchase...

Yeah. The fact that all units are LTD’s and it’s a big tax savings buying at CanJam I don’t blame you.

yes, very good eyes.. those are thin Caldera lamb pads. I will try to also share some (minimal pad swapping) impressions
