Series 2 has arrived....

Series 1 still on sale. Series 2 differs from Series 1 in that Series 1 are A4, while Series 2 are A2.
And series 2 is Murphy Aged, pass.
Nothing wrong at all with the Murphy touch. It’s just not for me. Even Antiquities.

The series 1, I jumped on after opening the email announcing them. And got low serial numbers.
Ordered in 15min after that email was delivered. First I heard about series 2, was this morning.

And you don't even have them set high. It seems odd given their description of them and the hype.

Imo for warmer slinkier tones '57 Classics, and for brighter edgier tones BB1's.

What do you mean by noticeably compressed? Are they lacking lowend, but break up to quickly? Or are they lacking highs?
I am sorry, but I can’t remember exactly.
