They're all a bit heavier - the Amboyna is lighter weight, like Canary or Cherry in weight. The others are all in the 550-ish+ range, lightest weight will be the Magnesium units with Coffee Gold or Black Grille's.Hi, does anyone know how heavy the Pink Ivory and Black Persimmon & Macassar Ebony Atrium / Caldera Opens will be??

For my fellow wood dorks, any thoughts or information on the hardness of the black persimmon? The pink ivory, katalox, and macassar ebony are very hard woods, over 3k janka, which is good for not only my sonic preferences but also piece of mind when i'm clumsy

It's around 2800 - 3000 or so - very similar to the Macassar Ebony.For my fellow wood dorks, any thoughts or information on the hardness of the black persimmon?

Let’s see.
Listening to the Atrium closed on the Aegis while deciding what to pursue on the 5.2 drop by obsessing over the photos on the zmf website. It’s ZMF night!

Denver, the answer is one of each. Atrium Open, Caldera Open, Caldera and Caldera Closed. Oh and while you’re at it, might as well get another AC, too!
Well, that would certainly help me decide. But, WHICH ONE OF EACH?!?Denver, the answer is one of each. Atrium Open, Caldera Open, Caldera and Caldera Closed. Oh and while you’re at it, might as well get another AC, too!
I'm also notoriously slow with the purchase process. My hope is to have a headphone picked out that speaks to me, but isn't the first choice of the more nimble buyers.

That’s fair! The difficulty with these drops is that they end up getting snatched up so, so quickly. Pretty awesome for Zach and team, but not as awesome for others!
Last drop I looked prioritized in a ranked order for the Caldera Closed and by the time I was able to even get one of the ones I considered, it ended up being like my fourth choice. I was like, I don’t want to “settle” for my fourth choice. So I didn’t bite. Luckily a fun, fun pair that really struck me hit the classified that I’ve been happy with.

Yeah I've decided that I'm only gonna drop the 4k on my #1 Caldera Closed pick and wait it out til July for the next major drop if I can't get this one.
Is it safe to assume pricing will be the usual $400-500 over the standard prices?
