I'm pretty sure "muffled" isn't a good thing. Now we're at 5 votes for Fidelio(s) and 3 for M-100. Nobody seems to be able to explain why they voted for Fidelio.
It's because of the X1s. If you wanna know why, go to here (http://www.head-fi.org/t/623013/new-philips-fidelio-x1) Whole bunch of impressions in that thread.
I do have to say however, these are not for portable usage, mainly home.

Ok, gotcha. But the X1 isn't portable like the M-100, so I think that excludes it as a finalist.. So much for the L1 and M1... But, certainly, at some point I can consider the X1 as a strictly at home headphone, since it is open and perhaps a wider sound stage than the M-100... It would be interesting to have 2 awesome headphones that sound differently, but are both exquisite in their own right.
Bump
Anymore votes? Thoughts?
Don't forget to vote! Thoughts?
I didn't think it fair for me to vote as I haven't heard all the candidates. I do have the ATH-ESW9 model and like them very much, listening mostly to 'world' and acoustic music. I have Fidelio L1's on order but have not heard them yet. I like a mid-forward sound profile, and although I like a tight and well-controlled bass, I am not what might be considered a basshead. Having said all that, I have the HD25 and about a dozen portables and the ATH-ESW9 are currently my favorites of the bunch. My $0.02.
