Soundstage is good sized and generally didn't feel cramp or overly spacious. A 1 for 3 isn't bad I guess considering the M3 and Tux 5 seem to be failed experiments in comparison. Slightly better than Tia, and definitely preferable to the K10U by just a bit of difference in this region. Like all other estats I've heard so far the treble is smooth. Combine with the midbass, this just becomes unbearable for me.ДЄ big concern with the peizo tweeter on the Khan was that it sounded wet and surprisingly Noble managed to fix that without further causing other issuers or mucking it up partially. So laid back and thin, but at least it's not shrill? The K10U arguably has better mids than the Sultan for my preferences: slightly forward and clear, not thin or shrill. All good right? Well.no, the mids end up sounding thin as well. And Noble kinda did.by going too much in the other direction.In this case the Sultan was more laidback, and took a step back compared to Khan without going into recessed territory.

The Sultan in my expectations should fixed this. Onto the mids! My biggest issue with the Khan was not the forwardness of the mids, but how shrill they were.

Midbass is similarly bloated and there ends up being too much slam and impact for me, there's a bit of bleed and the mids themselves contribute a bit to this so i'm not sure if this is just the DD's fault alone.The midbass is where it differs for me from the K10U, with it being more controlled even with the bass boosted signature, no bloat or bleed to be found. Subbass extension is par for the course but benefited most from the change. The inclusion of a larger DD for the bass on the Sultan was good choice coming from the Khan, bass becomes more prominent in comparison as a whole rather than feeling underwhelming. Listening off my 1A in low gain at 55 (General Hybrid volume) Nothing really major otherwise (for now).

Nozzle wise, I do wish for a more form fitting shape despite Noble sticking by their guns. I didn't have an issue with weight during my demo, but would factor in for longer sessions I'd imagine. One of the things I disliked about the Khan was the acrylic shell and nozzles, so going back to that with the pre Khan nozzles was an excellent decision. We're back to aluminum shells! Those feel solid and also look classy. The faceplates are gorgeous, beffitting it's status as a king like Khan. So good stuff first (hoping Noble doesn't read past this). The scene might be more suited to Noble's biggest hit, the K10U as Aragon. Arguably this analogy could also apply to the Khan after my time with it, but at least that demo'd well and only degraded in ranking after an extended period. However unlike the King Elessar, the Noble Sultan falls short despite the spendor surrounding it. Noble, known for their aesthetics in the industry with some of the best looking (and also most expensive) shells and their famous crown logo is Aragon in his splendor, the Sultan is a title of prestige for a leader likewise to King of Gondor. The hyped (and expensive) Sultan dropped by Noble is both similar and not at the same time to that scene. Imagine Aragon riding into the streets of Minas Tirith in all his splendor to be crowned as King of Gondor in the final scenes of the trilogy.
