Got my Fast-8s in last night - wow! (Still gotta pint/stain their insert tho - maybe a gray or light green?)
Compared to my old Hark Tuny drivers, not surprised to hear so much more detail - was expecting that - but was blown away how the entire soundstage moved up 3’ - everything is higher, more spacious, better imaging. A little harsh/wince inducing at some upper mid freqs, but hoping as they break in that’ll fix itself.
These don’t reproduce metallic tones like the old ones tho - triangle/glockenspiel/ride cymbal freaky-real on those - these sound like playing triangle through a speaker. Still v good, but less magical.
I really like Riki Lee Jones’s cover of “Show Biz Kids” to compare - triangle *and* upright bass *and* - of course - the vocals. Triangle just not there w/ these. But still thrilled. And takes less than 10min to swap in…
