Occupies the flat end of the spectrum, from 461.54 to 464.52 cents.

Surprisingly, A-Team tunings in this range can approximate some high-limit JI chords, owing to the generator being close to the 17/13 ratio and three of them approximating both 9/8 and 10/9, thus approximating their mediant 19/17. The most plentiful consonant triad is 4:9:21 or 8:18:21, followed by 13:17:19 and 4:5:9. A-Team[13] in the following tuning has five copies of 4:5:9:13:17:21, five copies of 5:9:13:17:19:21, three copies of 4:5:9:11, two copies of 4:5:9:11:13, two copies of 4:5:9:13:17:19:21, and one copy of 4:9:(15):21:23. The 13-note [[MODMOS]] given by flattening just the seventh and eighth degrees of the LsLssLsLssLss mode of A-Team[13] by the 13-generator interval (~25.5 cents) gives the entire 4:5:9:11:13:17:19:21:23 otonal chord over a single root.

The 11th harmonic makes an appearance too, because it is approximated by both 13edo and 31edo.

Extending the chain beyond 13 notes can give good (though irregular) mappings of 3/2 and 7/4 in the "better" tunings.
