Which has more dark & rich sound for tenor?

In my opinion, between these two choices, the Superial does (more rich).

I think the other Superial flavors (DC and Classique) are both darker than the "plain" Superial. For me, though, I don't like them as well for other reasons (I play "plain" Superials ).

The Superials definitely produce a richer sound. I found Hemkes to be too stuffy sounding. DC's and Classiques are darker than the Superials. I personally prefer Superials for its rich tone with some buzz.

I've played RSJ's and found them brighter than Superials. IMHO, Superials are the better reed, they just play better and are more consistent.
