Grandioso M1X

Its burnished sound flows effortlessly even through complex passages.。

“Percussion had gratifying presence on a wide soundstage, and was correctly colored.”
“Bass was "prodigiously powerful,” the midrange “smooth, captivating,” and fatigue free. “Its burnished sound flows effortlessly even through complex passages, and its somewhat laid-back presentation, from top to bottom, helps expose fine detail.”
