Interesting. With the production prototype I tested, that dip into 4KHz was only about 3dB down, instead of around 10dB, and the response above 5KHz in general was about 5dB higher than on the EARs results.



It's possible it's just a "different rigs, different results," sort of scenario, but I know there were some final changes after the last pair I heard (tensioning, maybe something to do with traces? Can't recall specifically).



Point being, it makes me that much more curious to get a real production unit in house for testing. That last prod proto I heard was really, really nice. Solid bass that gently sloped into mids, smooth and balanced midrange and treble, but a slight zingy nature around 5KHz and 6.5KHz that was easily addressed with A) a different amp or B) very, very light foam damping over the driver.



My favorite part, by far, was the bass up through the ~2-3KHz midrange area. Looks like that is still doing well here.
