Special is an understatement. Thick velvety angelic tone would be more appropriate.

and how does this Collings C10 Koa sound to your ears ?

A little too bright and anemic after listening to the 000-28

and this Lowden O38c ?

a little harsh but has some depth at least.

Of course recording can flavor things.

velvety angelic tone 

...nice combination of words to try and describe something indescribable !
very nice.

I've never been that impressed with Martin trebles... but this....this is something 'angelic'

dare I say this Martin sounds 'balanced' ?  ....and 'velvetly' smooth across the range ?
