Antlion Audio Kimura Duo Scorings

Average Tunign Grade

D+

Expect a patchy tonal profile that makes instrumentation feel mismatched. EQ is almost mandatory to tame the response.

Average Technical Grade

E+

Everything sounds flat and suffocated, with even elementary passages losing definition and energy. Expect little in the way of micro-details.

Mids C+

The region sounds agreeable overall, delivering clarity without flashiness. Slight warmth keeps things easy-going.

Treble E+

Expect a dark-tilted treble that keeps excitement in check. Sibilants are dull, but so is everything else.

Dynamics remain compressed, muting nuance and softening impact. Climaxes never quite lift off.

Soundstage C+

It pushes sound outward confidently while leaving height development as an unfinished idea. Height remains subtle but detectable.
