Indeed, my experience to.
Sometimes manfacturers forget about the SOUNDBALANCE.
Just like the telephone 300-3000 Hertz is good, 300- 12000 for example sounds overbright, sizzling.
Have also the MG-1C in the livingroom, also very balanced, low and high same principle, some call it coherent sound, every tone, instrument, vocal sounds as one big ball of sound. I heard the new types with ribbons etc and cannot say they are as pleasing, high frequencies seem to live their own life.
Do not mistake overly bright sound caused by crossover/transientintermodulation distortion by bad transistor amplifiers. I use valve amplifiers, very recommended.
Happy listening.
