Frequently Asked Questions
The Xists are generally brighter and more direct than the A Customs, which tend to be warmer and more complex. It’s a matter of preference, but the Xists offer a more focused, modern sound.
Absolutely. The B20 bronze is robust, and Istanbul Agop’s manufacturing is top-notch. Proper care will keep them sounding great for years of regular use.
The brilliance is noticeable, but not overwhelming. It’s a clean, professional look that enhances stage presence without being overly gaudy. It will reflect stage lights well.
