Undoubtedly, Essence One is addressing to the bass lovers, the so-called “bass-heads”. They will certainly appreciate it, excelling in this area. I liked the quality of the bass, having scale, precision and depth. Audition room was filled to a very high level with low frequencies and we decided to mellow it down a bit on Contour bookshelfs with some sponges, placed in bass-reflex ports. The result was an excellent one, low frequencies being very good, whether I was listening to classical, jazz or hip-hop music. One of the most demanding bass tests, the guitar of Marcus Miller from Red Baron or Power, is completed without any problem by Essence One. In our test systems, low frequencies are perfectly controlled, dynamic and speed being at high rates.
