CHN-70 voiced for the Japanese. Broadly lifted midband. The little labyrinth drags as much smooth controlled bass as the volume allows.

CHN-70 wouldn't be a great choice for a full-range driver. It rolls off rather fast after 8KHz and has deep irregularities in overall FR (accompanied by high doses of distortion, especially at ~700-800Hz region). The latter is particularly damning because it can't be fixed with EQ.
Interesting, but the roll off doesn't bother me as I can't hear above 11kHz. From what I've read I think they maybe a good choice for PC duty, I'm a bit old school and buy HIFI equipment for their sound, if they need EQ then I've made a poor decision. Only piece of equipment with this is my phono stage which has adjustment of capacitance settings for different MC or MM carts.
I thought it was the CHP series that was voiced for the Japanese market? Supposed to sound vintage with an early roll off.
No, in CHP he tried to implement a vintage top-end. Instead a bit of a bump at 5k then drops 10 dB (CHBW the same but 15 dB).
The A6p/10p have much much better “vintage” top.

Dave,
Maybe diyAudio member Cipriano is referring to the CHP-70 gen1 which had limited release in Japan and Europe.

TerribleTanker,
Any particular reason why the CHN-70?
In my experience, many of the wideband (aka full range) drivers have midrange frequency response that is adequate (in some cases prominent) and possibly they would not require a further uplft in midrange for nearfield listening.
