How would you describe the special sauce of the AMT16?
Current Rotation:
GS Audio SE12 - by far my best sounding stage,bass,vocal,and extended highs magical find!
Letshuoer EJ07M - most technical set
Yanyin Canon 010 setting I used to love the bass but the BA bass of the SE12 kills it.
Fiio FH5S - unique in its presentation and outstanding build quality my MMCX
Choice
IKKO Obsidian OH10 - solid Bass slam all rounder.
TinHiFi P2 f to remind myself what a less bassy IEM sounds like.
Kinera BD005 Pro. When I want to remind myself what a sybliant IEM sound like.
Sorry that was 7 not 5

I have the same question as @Rcayn . If you wouldnāt mind, could you give us a little breakdown summary on the Goldplanars? Theyāre a set I just havenāt heard much about, but they definitely intrigue me. Iād like to know what theyāve got under the hood, so to speak, that puts them up with some elite company in that price range so Iād definitely appreciate any impressions youād be down to share.
A lot of that is addressed here:
If weāre talking its most standout feature, itās the timbre. It has this smooth/analog, but incredibly detailed aspect to the sound which is not dissimilar to most descriptions of amt ribbon speakers (I hesitate to call anything āelectrostatic-likeā since I havenāt heard one myself.) A lot of extension in both directions. A downside is it being very source-picky, both in power and to tamp down some of that upper treble (8k peak).
My list needs a change, there are some IEMs that will be gone from the previous list I posted.
