And now add a quarter-century of aging - the alloy has had time to settle and mellow and chill. And it’s a wonderful thing! These specific K Cons have a dry complex sibilance that is remarkably smooth and tempered - more focused and mellower than the modern takes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis particular pair of 14s” are very dark and low-pitched for the series - they could even pass as 15s.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt only 954 and 1186 grams, they’re thinner than your typical K Customs or New Beats and that thinner weight no doubt contributes to their darker tones and great responsiveness.
