Superb detail, tympani clearly audible through densely scored passages. Great neutrality, transparency, and musicality, and a comfortable fit with amplifiers that never causes them distress. Tilting a tad toward the Yin on the Yin/Yang spectrum, the 8TC has that elusive ability to remain musical no matter what's happening fore or after an outstanding performer by any measure.

$288 per 8-foot pair
