“The V13 sounds very round and warm in the lower middle, provides a strong bass foundation, is good-natured with transients, but still has a very clean midrange paired with silvery, soft highs. One normally would not risk a direct comparison to a classic, but if it does, it might work in the direction of an ELA M 251.

With its soft basic character, the V13 always looks very elegant and ‘beautiful’, even with problematic voices or instruments…A real hit for vintage fans who can not or will not spend a fortune on such a sound, if you ask me.”
