garryadkins wrote I haven't run any additional tests, but wanted to give an update on the Morels I added to my 2023 45e.
After significant burnin (probably 100 hours or so, reasonable volume) I can say they sound amazing. I was just thinking this weekend about how they've improved over time, especially recently. I liked them before, but love them now.
While not an audiophile per se, I am familiar with high end equipment and that's why I went with Morel (over Focal). I was just a little afraid of the metal tweeters - I'm a little sensitive to sharpness in tweeters and the Morel silk dome tweeter seemed like a more natural choice, and I'm very happy with the choice.
If it matters (and you're curious about my listening creds), my wife has the exact model but higher spec with the HK model. While good, we both agree that the Morel/dsp Amp combo is better sounding even to non-picky listeners. The bass is very tight and pleasant compared to the somewhat boomy HK, and the silk dome tweeter is just smooth with no fatigue while listening.
At home I love to test speakers and have a B&O Beosound 2 3rd Gen, Beoplay A1, and Bowers & Wilkins headphones with permanent placement in my home. (Lots of HK, JBL, Treblab, Bose gear around, but these three are the best.)
Just today during my commute I was listening to my speaker test playlist and a couple of songs really stand out if you want to know how I frame them:
Tin Pan Alley - Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble
- The tweeters stand out incredibly here
Nameless - Dominique Fils-Aime
- Breathing and clarity are first [...]
Glad you liking the morel combos. Those underseats are something else on articulate bass and need very little EQ.
Might not be your music thing , but there is a Massive Attack song remixed with bass guitar playing that really brings out their capabilities. There is plenty of weight and low end on the bass guitar and from 3 mins on the second bass guitar riff is something else.
