I've been doing quite a few a/b testing, and from what I've observed, I'd describe the sound as slightly subdued, non-hyped, mellow, smooth, rounded.

Like you could track a chain saw with it, and it would sound like a smooth and well-balanced chain saw; for lack of a better way to put it. Not really getting the "condenserish" thing, as some have described it (at least not in an airy sense).

But on the flip-side, it also sounds a little honky/nasal (telephonic?) on a bad day.

Before I go to the trouble of plunking down a grand, are my observations relatively in the ball park?

Thank you in advance. And no, I don't need acoustic treatment, new converters, monitors, etc. <-- I'm good there.
