I have only heard them at Best Buy where invariably the high is really overly bright and harsh - the bass is almost completely dis jointed from the electrostatic driver.I have heard this exact same thing for decades.
I admit there is defiantly an extreme clarity to parts of the musical spectrum but i always walk away thinking " yuck "
I know they cant be that bad or the company would not have survived this long.
Tell me I am full o ' hot buttered muffins ,,,,,,
