That's the best description I've read on what the difference of a stat vs dynamic is. Well at least the stats, under $1k, I've heard. Senns could be too warm and distant for some. The 404 is the opposite and very upfront and detailed. Since I'm into classical guitar as well, I just gotta have good timbre and body...so I sided more with extension over transparency. I think on my current setup, the HD650 is just the right amount of transparency for its soundstage.
After this thread, though, I think I may need to try out the Omega II sometime
Sounds like it doesn't suffer from extension the way other stats might. But problem is that after money spent on a new vinyl rig, I'm actually building up a CD collection now. yourmusic.com can be very evil: picking up lots of boxed sets of classical music now

I can't believe I'm being so critical and perdantic because apart from this, I am completely satisfied with how my Stax is sounding. |
