I own both the AO and the Caldera. I’ve listened to the AC. I would say that your review is pretty much spot on. The two Atriums are more similar than not in their overall presentation which pulls you back from the performance. The Caldera is an upfront presentation without losing instrument separation or soundstage.
That damn Atrium haunted me for two years, yes I bought it today 😂 to end my suffering of not owning it. Caldera is not my cup of tea, I just usually dont like planars, only nice thing about them planars is bass. I already own Verite closed and like it too much to even think of other closed back headphones. Cant wait for my Atrium, that will be perfect duo with my VC 🤙
@@Skeeb23 nice! I already have a VC which is very snappy and punchy. You should totally try to get your hands on a VC for review and comparisons. If you're in the PNW area, I may be able to hook you up... ;)

I love ZMF's but I am curious how the Modhouse are going to stack up to the calderas.
Thanks!
Oh wow, thank you good sir!!
I don’t think Hell is very snappy. Hell is a place of torment and pain. Nothing snaps there

Do you remember the pads you liked on the Atrium Open? Are they the Stock pads on this set you reviewed?
The planar is the least power hungry??
Easiest to drive. Different amps will give you different things. Remember the Atriums are 300 ohms.
Seems like the Atrium Closed would better for EDM than the Caldera, tho, no?
Both! Low end slam yes, but speed and that snappiness...plus the Caldera is no slouch with bass.

@@asplmn thanks for the offer. I'm in the MW but I'll be at CanJam next month and plan to spend plenty of time at ZMF.
@@asplmn some say that VC is not punchy, I say it depend on pads and amp used
Comic/movie reference is a different flavor and oddly makes sense.
more confusion
7:30 the cringeyness is insane
At least he doesn't take himself too seriously like most audiophiles
You’re too serious
