Kiwi Ears Quartet Scorings

Average Tunign Grade

C-

Tonality remains inconsistent, with uneven peaks and dips that disrupt musical flow. You'll constantly notice peaks or dips pulling focus.

Average Technical Grade

E-

A foggy, one-dimensional presentation wipes out layering and obscures the finer points of a mix. Spatial cues barely register at all.

Mids C+

Midrange performance is decent, offering balanced presence without major flaws. It works well for casual background listening.

Treble E-

Treble is heavily rolled off, muting sparkle and detail. Detail retrieval in highs is nonexistent.

The system delivers passable punch but never surprises. Punch is modest rather than exciting.

Soundstage B

You can map the ensemble with confidence thanks to solid spacing and coherent depth layering. Ambient effects feel believable.
