Hey fellow s500 lovers    I have  the s500s with the hm5 pads, and to me the soundstage/imaging is just amazing, unlike anything I've heard.  I was wondering how the soundstage with this setup compares to the soundstage of the high end Senns, like hd5xx, hd650.  If anyone could share their...

I couldn't find anything like the question I have already on the forums, so I'm going to start a thread; sorry if I'm doing this wrong. I have the HD238 and I was curious as to how the soundstage and overall sound quality compares to the HD598 and the rest of the HD5xx line. Can anyone who...
