Kiwi Ears Quintet - A Fun, Exaggerated All-Around Listen - Honest Audiophile Impressions
A BIG thank you to Linsoul Audio for providing the Kiwi Ears Quintet for review, much appreciated. The Quintet has a fun, exaggerated presentation that makes it a good all-around listen. How does it compare to the Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite and JQ 4U Pro?

I am not a professional sound engineer, producer, musician, or vocalist, etc. I have not done any scientific research, measurements, or in-depth testing of any kind; just my own listening, comparing and internet reading/research. I have limited, real-life experience with recording, mixing and mastering gear. I have been involved since my teenage years with various churches as an amateur sound booth technician.
Please take these thoughts, opinions and reasonings as just that, my honest audiophile thoughts, opinions and reasonings.
