TRN-Medusa Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

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

Average Technical Grade

D
  • Resolution is limited, masking finer nuances and narrowing the soundstage. Busy mixes still overwhelm it with ease.
Mids C+
Midrange performance is decent, offering balanced presence without major flaws. It works well for casual background listening.
Treble D
Treble response is uneven, jumping between dull spots and sharp peaks. Peaks poke out unpredictably.
Dynamics D
Dynamics come across throttled, leaving energetic moments underwhelming. Energetic passages land with a thud.
Soundstage B
You can map the ensemble with confidence thanks to solid spacing and coherent depth layering. Ambient effects feel believable.

Kbear KB02 Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

C+
  • It sounds pleasant overall, with some uneven spots that hint at room for refinement. Vocals remain pleasant despite the imperfections.

Average Technical Grade

C-
  • Textural information blurs together, making the stage feel pinched and gray. Instrument edges blur together frequently.
Mids C+
The region sounds agreeable overall, delivering clarity without flashiness. Slight warmth keeps things easy-going.
Treble C-
Treble is adequate overall, though its texture can feel coarse. Longer sessions may expose grain.
Dynamics B
You get confident dynamics that track both macro swings and rhythmic drive. There's life in every crescendo.
Soundstage B
The presentation supplies a believable venue outline where each instrument owns its pocket of space. The stage opens up nicely for live cuts.
