Oh Dear...
Hansotek has more knowledge on headphones than anyone I know.
That being said, laid back is the last thing I would say about the Verite. To my ears its quite an intense way to experience music.
It is very hard for me to put what I hear into words in a way that conveys to a reader an accurate description of a given sound,but I will try.
Musical,slamming,intense,subtle,bombastic,delicate,heavy handed all at the same time.
I mean, I would agree with that. I meant laid-back in the traditional sense relative to Diana Krall’s vocal presentation. Go listen to “All or Nothing At All” on Auteur and Verite - the upper mid on Auteur will be more upfront lending more presence, air and “upfrontness” to her voice. Then listen to it on Verite. It is less upfront. It has a touch more nuance and detail on a micro level, but it shares more of the stage with Christian McBride’s upright bass. It’s just a different tuning with a different relative balance between the fundamentals and the harmonics. It seemed important to note.
