There can occasionally be a little more bass quantity with the Xcapes (sometimes even a little too much!), but I've always heard just the right amount and texture of bass, well-balanced with everything else, with the Fishers.
I've been struggling to figure out how to describe the differences between these two, and haven't come up with anything specific except what I just said - I always like the DBA's better. That said, I would have been quite happy with Xcapes if I'd bought those first.
