I agree with tstarn06's observations. I came from CX300s to RE-2s and having listened to my roommate's C551s (both with Comply T-400s), the RE-2s clearly win. The biggest issue I have is now all my source material (crappily encoded MP3s) sound horrible because the RE-2s readily expose them.
If you love bass, you really need to amp the RE-2s, else they'll flail about in lackluster fashion. RE-2s produce solid, precise bass, not the muddy stuff my CX300s were throwing out, so without proper power they simply won't push clear bass out.
