Pros: Crinacle’s measurement gives it an excellent Harman preference score of 80 with a 2.38 dB spread. Its tonal tilt of -0.25 sits close to the target, so the overall balance is neither dark nor bright.
Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. Its 2.38 dB spread is less even than the best measured sets.
