#226 Meze Liric 2 Discontinued eBay
Older model: the Meze Liric (ranked lower, rated 3.5/5). See every Meze Liric generation.
Pros: Measured response gives it a solid Harman preference score of 70 with a 2.27 dB spread. Upper treble lifts about 4.8 dB for extra air and sparkle.
Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. A 5.4 dB peak near 11.9 kHz can make cymbals and sibilance sound sharp. Treble sits about 3.9 dB low, so it sounds a little dark.
