Would you describe the difference in top end you hear?

Thanks.

The CMC6 maybe sounds a little more detailed or maybe a little more harsh
than the CMC5. It's a very minor difference... less of a difference than
moving the mike a foot. And for all I know, it might actually be the
result of my misperceiving something due to the low end change.
