I don't call it brighter since that word implies leaner bass to me.
Strictly speaking, that's not really what brighter is supposed to mean.

Ross buddy, how are you? I tried recordings of different quality today. For example, I have Boston which I think has been recorded great. The XC I thought near faithfully reproduced the music. You could hear everything; however the guitars were a little more forward and hence clearer. I don't call it brighter since that word implies leaner bass to me.
However on other recordings where I myself am dubious about the quality the overall sound was brighter. Don't know if this helps.

Prince,
a little off topic but I will be auditioning the 6 while my friend will be auditioning my XC. I see you have both. Thoughts?
I've heard a feedback from a user of LCD-X testing it with Chord Hugo and comparing it with McIntosh and was blown away by Hugo.
Anyone tried LCD-XC with Hugo?
Make sure you've got enough juice for the HE6.
None of my headphone amps have come anywhere close to showing me what the HE6s are capable of.
Set them up with a nice speaker amp and these animals will come to life.
Am running them with a 50wpc vintage Pioneer SA3000.
Extremely transparent, with great soundstage width. Nicely textured bass. Treble is slightly more energetic than what I'd prefer.
Sibilant vocals will sound sibilant. No LCD3 warmth here.
Closest I have come to Stax009 in terms of transparency.
