Great strings, lots of punch
I have a Marin Montero spruce top Granada guitar. It had come with Savarez Corum basses and Galli trebles which a very good concert artist had put on and played a solo recital on the instrument before I bought it. I also tried a few other brands. I liked the Corum basses. They were very strong and firm. The Galli E was very bright and clear which I liked. When I put the Hannabach's on, they were terrible for 3 days. The sound was all over and the intonation suspect. On the 4th day they settled in and were fantastic! These strings are a little darker than the Savarez and Gallis. But they are incredibly resonant, warm, and have a huge amount of punch. Especially from the 5th to the 12th fret, where there is no diminution of power. I just put a set of Corums and Galli's back on to compare, and even having had the Hannabach's on for a couple of months, as I replaced each string and tuned, the new strings were no comparison with the old Hannabach's. I used to be a little snooty about expensive (and ostensibly over-priced) German strings before, but these are well worth the money, and I am now a convert.
