  • My favorite here is the KNIF because of the more life-like detail I'm hearing, even in the MP3.  Then the PAU, BAE's, API, and Chandler are all about equally good for me, and would depend on the song, mix, etc.  Chandler is a little smoother and more compressed, API a little punchier and brighter, and the BAE sort of in between.  My least favorites are the VP28 and P1 which I find to be harsher.
