These strings have a certain magic, a sound and feel all their own, that would be difficult for me to translate over text. definitely warm, sweet, mellow...perfect for mahogany top D-25 & M-20 (others im sure too but thats all ive tried!)
But my real reason for this post, is to share the fact that these are unquestionably the absolutley longest lasting strings I have ever known of. even if you like old/dead strings. These are just next level. 2 years easy before I begin to even question if a new set will sound better. closer to 3 years for both sound and feel to noticeably change, and they are still very playable and sounding real nice, even at that point. It has been at least 3 years on one D-25, and although by my standards a string change is certainly due, it is still far from mandatory. still quite playable and sounds just fine. my mind is blown with the lifespan of these strings.
