The region sounds agreeable overall, delivering clarity without flashiness. Slight warmth keeps things easy-going.
Treble E-
Treble is heavily rolled off, muting sparkle and detail. Detail retrieval in highs is nonexistent.

Soundstage C+
You start to perceive distinct rows of players even if the ceiling still feels low. Layering is present but still modest.
