I'll admit it, I'm listening on Adam P11s with a Sub12 and a Tact RCS 2.0 and I could barely tell any difference of any of the clips except maybe for the second section. I don't hear any extra air or warmth. Of course, post is my bread and butter and I make music on the side. It really makes me wonder if we're even focusing on the same thing as audio engineers. I kept wanting to cut out the lip smacks I was hearing from the vocals.

It's unimaginable for me that anyone listening to this through laptop speakers to hear ANY differences at all.
