@ralphmonteath67324 күн бұрын
I agree. Had both for a week - and you described the Focals the same way... it feels out of focus. The presence isn't compared to the 5909. If I didn't try the 5909, I'd be super happy with the Bathys. But when comparing, every single type of genre (with the bass enhancement on with the 5909 - it only does +6db or 0 or -6db), the 5909 just SHINES. It's not as warm, but then the Bathy's warmth is that muddyness, which isn't really warm, but... like you said.... soft focus. ONE THING for the BATHYS: they are Louder!! Much louder at the max. If you want that sub feel, that muddy bass.. and the loudness and can't spend extra on the 5909, buy the Focals. They good, but the 5909 is HiFi vs the Bathys. Now I gotta see if the Dali is also more Hifi compared to the 5909 - while it's noise cancelling probably even better than the Bose, it's just not that loud. I need to test it on a plane or noisy gym/mall/large busy indoor space.

I had the 932s and sent them back, just not a fan. I think the compression driver and crossover allow the highs to over power everything and they get very harsh. I thought about possibly getting the 912 since it has a smaller compression driver. Any thoughts?

A handle on top? What are we talking about here. “Speaker should look plain”. Crassly Irrelevant. The reason RCF is 3x is coil, crossover, design, internal topology, spread, warranty, features and speaker construction to name only a few topics missed. Handles on the top and look should not even register in buying a speaker imho. Would have loved to hear a proper technical conversation, video missed on all marks.

All recordings were captured whilst speakers were in optimum performance positions. Unit placement was for upload purposes only. Images were added to the relevant audio track (recorded separately).

I was in the market to upgrade my Sony MX4 as Inhave been holding back on the MX5 due to it being not foldable as a frequent business traveller. I’ve awaited long enough and decided I had enough of the muffled Sony found after taking out my Hifiman Deva Pro out of the cupboard. Sold my IO6 last year and came across your vid on IO12. Being testing the Focals recently and considering the Solitaire T and 5909. I watched your Bathys vs 5909 and this IO12. Thanks to your reviews and honest real life insight, I could make the decision and end up cop the 5909 at the end - Ice Pewter.
@SimonTrollАй бұрын
Totally agree. Listened to this after I had A/B’d both Bathys and 5909 for a week and made my decision myself. I didn’t need a week. 5909 were more consistent than Bathys across a greater genre of music. Bathys wider sound stage, and more exciting but sometimes vocals are recessed when they should be more forward in the mix. WTF on the lights. Illuminating my wife whilst she tries to sleep and waking her up! Great. I buy phones for sound not for illuminated earcups. Forgetting time when listening to 5909s. Also the quality of the phones is so much better. I found the Bathys were wobbling on my ears, but nice and clamped on 5909s. Agree with the ‘grenade’ approach analogy of the Bathys soundstage. Yes the 5909s are a better product all around. IMO. Looking forward to my grey version. The red cups are also too much for me, but the red on the outside discs will be a nice touch.
