I actually use the term complimentary a little different on my YT channel and my viewers are clear on it.
A set that compliments a collection is a set that is not redundant .
On par technically (ideally) but have strengths that may be more towards another part of a users library.
A person with a bassy set may want a more neutral set to compliment their collection and highlight another genre or part of same genre
The Original Oracle with less bass, less upper mids/ear gain, being more neutral than GAEA tuning wise but comporable tech wise…would be what i would call a complimentary set.
Hey @hawaiibadboy I noticed that although you rave about the Twilight and put it above the IE600 in the video its below it in your ranking list. Also it the bias score is only a .4 which seems low for how much you loved the set. Is there a typo in there?
Like mentioned in the Twilight vid, it is my top rec for an all DD set. IE600 is a tech beast but just way too tiring in the trebs and I am sensitive there.
It will get pulled below Twilight by Christmas.
I gotta lotta work to do… 1st world problems
yeah, I have been trialing the IE600 and have really been digging it. It’s definitely got some energetic treble but I threw an Olina filter on top and that helped a lot. Tip rolling has been tricky with such small IEMs for me though. Right now I am using the small silicone tips in the “far” position which sounds great. Those tips do lower the bass a bit for me though so still not perfect.
