After 2 months living with both the 200ohm and 100ohm. Bad news for the current 200ohm owners, the 200 ohm is not even close on the level of the old 100ohm model, 100ohm hits harder n deeper. clearer, less grainy, more forward n textured, fuller midrange(less 5k to 8k dip). better extended n sweeter hi s. On the soundstage presentation is the same story, the 100ohm seems to have alot better focus on the centre image while at the same time being more concise on the imaging. The 200 ohm is no Slouch, but really, I wouldnt wanna hear the 200ohm again after hearing the 100ohm.
I tried both 100ohm and 200ohm before and to my ears their differences are not as huge as you describe. The 200ohm sounds better with GSX MK2 and the Moon 430HA while the 100ohm sounds better at low volume and with V281 and some tube amps to my ears.
