Got some Alpair 6Ps yesterday. Like 'em already. I've been reluctant to try them out of fear they would be too bright, too much top end energy that I'm sensitive to, but so far so good. I think my fear is really about the metal cones and the slight metallic 'halo' at those upper frequencies I've experienced. The EL70s and A6P do not share that characteristic. A6P out the box is like a more refined EL70. Lot more dynamic that I expected, Mark was right about percussion having a lot of snap. Not as 'smooth' as the Gen1 A6 but cleaner with greater depth and low level info, with just a few hours on it no less. Pretty excited about these little guys. I think I'll stick to Mark's paper stuff from now on, compared to the metal drivers the papers just come off as more natural.
