#196 Noble Audio Sultan: $2,900.00 Audio46 eBay
Pros: Bass extends on target to 20 Hz with about 2.6 dB of extra midbass in HypetheSonics’ measurement, giving a warm, full low end, and its 2.4 dB average deviation is fairly smooth. Treble from 6 to 10 kHz sits about 2.6 dB above target without sharp peaks, so cymbals keep sparkle without harshness. It rates higher than the 64 Audio Tia Trio.
Cons: A 7.4 dB dip near 3.2 kHz and a 3.4 dB shortfall across 3 to 6 kHz recess vocals and the attack of guitars and pianos. The Oriolus Mellianus earns the same rating for noticeably less money.
