No brand pioneered Kevlar as much as B&W, no brand has continued using Kevlar as B&W.
It has become the yellow band symbol for their lineup, signature look that "defines" elite company and elite performance
BUT in their lower product lines are often " ignorant or indifferent" to Kevlar cone breakup. It does add extra sparkle and detail that soon becomes bit edgy in time.
From video the classic Kevlar breakup is shown to be both a signature sound profile and a dragon to slay. 90% of issue is the simple need to xover trap that breakup. The video goes further than that with slope/xover points that truly removes the dragon.
The little unit has many nice features and a level of driver construction quality that results in on the clean side waterfall plots
It is the opposite sound signature than of Merlin TSM. To the Original Poster
