#522 Noble Audio Kublai Khan: $2,599.00 Bloom Audio $2,599.00 eBay
Pros: Upper treble lifts about 2.8 dB for extra air and sparkle. Lower mids sit within about 0.5 dB of target, keeping voices and guitars natural. It uses 1 x 10mm dynamic + 4 x balanced armature + 1 x 10mm piezoelectric + 1 x bone conduction with an easy 15.4 ohm load.
Cons: Presence sits about 7.7 dB low with a 9.7 dB dip near 4.4 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite.
