Seeko.co.kr has measured the Z7...

I'm not that well-versed in CSD, but does that graph means the bass decay is so slow?

Descriptions of the z5 are coming in and they are tending to get...weird

Here's a translated one that describes the z5's treble as "a little pregnant"

As for the bass, well...that's just how you like it: "A mega piece of coagulated phlegm at the back of my throat I cannot quite cough out. "

And the midrange?
Well, I have asked people for a description and offered my own suggestions for how they may wish to describe it:

But, I ask you, dear reader, what is the midrange like?

 

Is the midrange like a scent of a well-fattened goat, after a summer rainstorm?

 

Is it like the turgid rippling of a segment of a tapeworm as it feasts on the semi-digested detrius of a hamburger in the colon of an unsuspecting tourist?

 

Is it like "a soft field, the pride of the tilled land,

wide and triple-ploughed, with many ploughmen upon it

who wheeled their teams at the turn and drove them in either direction.

And as these making their turn would reach the end-strip of the field,

a man would come up to them at this point and hand them a flagon

of honey-sweet wine, and they would turn again to the furrows

in their haste to come again to the end-strip of the deep field.

The earth darkened behind them and looked like earth that has been ploughed

though it was gold..." (-trans Lattimore)

Is this the Diwali or Thanksgiving hangover? Or both?
