Nicely said, Currawong. I agree with nearly everything here, including the increased clarity in symphonic music (which I found problematic with the LCD-2.2) and the mild disappointment experienced on certain aggressive tracks when moving from the LCD-2.2 to the LCD-3 (I found this when listening to Motorhead, which I don't seem to do very often any more).

Nice review. Nice i.e. it is balanced and to the point. I have a hard time deciding to go for the LCD-3, or not. It also a bit scary to read OoS's comment above regarding "aggressive" sound. Eventhough I do not listen to e.g. Motorhead, I do not want too much treble energy than the LCD-2 rev. 2 conveys at the moment. I've learned that it can be fascinating to hear more and more details, but at a certain (undefined) point - it becomes fatiguing. Hence, I'm curious to see if the fatiguing part will reveal it self with the LCD-3 some months down the line.
