dalethorn 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2012 The Shure 1840 is very different from the 940 - the 1840 has about the same bass and high treble, but in the lower to upper mids is tilted much more toward the lower. I would say the 1840 is darker and more forward, where the forward is in the range around 250-350 hz. The test curve by Innerfidelity looks really flat, but the 1840 does not sound flat.
