I'm going to bump this, as I like the genres the OP mentioned, and I can't seem to find a clear distinction/comparison between the two. If anyone has both, or at least an extensive knowledge in the two, I would greatly appreciate if you could give me a brief comparison of the sound: high/mid/low/soundstage/detail,clarity. However, if you've heard a "demo" of one of the two, I don't think it's a fair comparison.
So far, I've gathered the basic sound signatures of the two. It seems the Miracle is a bit laid-back, and has more bass presence. The Miracles also seem to cater a wide soundstage, and a very nice sparkle to the highs. The ES5 seems to have more intimate mids, while being equally smooth as the Miracle's. Bass is tight and punchy, and the highs are there, though not as sparkly.
Now, I cant seem to gather much detail about the clarity and detail level, as I've read mixed comparisons, not to mention a comparison between a full custom ES5 and the demo Miracle. That seemed a bit too off, so I'm not going to consider that, though it confused me further.
The main thing I need to know is a really detailed comparison of the mids, and a brief explanation if the highs on the ES5 is adequate, or if the sparkle of the Miracle is something to die for. Although I do like the deep bass, I realize I tend to look for the mids/highs/detail an clarity more.
I listen to Alternative Rock - Radiohead, Classical, Scores, Extremely emotional Vocas, and R&B. These are in random order, and I like and listen to each genre equally. Occasionally I listen to KPop but not often.
One last thing, I would like to ask you guys for a recommendation based on my listening preferences, and your experience.
Thanks
