But about Susvara.
I quite liked the sound as is (no EQ) but did not listen at loud levels as that requires quite a bit of voltage.
When that is not available during the demo and compares it directly to some other reference it may not sound great.
I have heard people say the same thing about the HE.
Yes, it doesn't measure $6k well but does the HE1 measure €70k well ?
Susvara:
and HE1:
Notice the lightly increased almost Harman bass levels for HE1 which Susvara lacks and similar 'clarity dip' around 2kHz. Aside from the bass levels how far is the tonality off ?
Below the Harman following DCA Stealth:
When looking at these measurements and compare them with Susvara... how poor can it sound (at normal listening levels)
Yes, Susvara does not have the same amount of low bass and does not have the same ear-gain around 2-3kHz as a standard fixture but we all know that not everyone does have the same ear-gain and some prefer less bass.
