Same. After upgrading from Arya and Focal Clear to Empyrean, things sounded so much better. It feels weird when some reviewers say Arya is a better buy in terms performance even at 1600$ which IMO is total nuts. Bass and vocals are downright inferior on Arya compared to Empyrean. Even though...

I am not saying Meze is supposed to compete but saying susvara has no soul is a bit harsh. Literally every single comparative reviews of susvara I am come through, mentioned that it's more laid back than 1266 tc & Utopia. That's why I find it odd when someone says it soulless. Infact, I expected...

After upgrading from Empyrean to Susvara, I don't really think I am missing the soul of the songs in most cases. Surely, empyrean had more bass quantity and thicker mids but Susvaras sound stage is largest I have heard, dynamics are better and low end is way more better than something like...

You seem to be horribly offended by any positive feedback regarding Meze products. If you find those so lame, what's the point of even lurking in this thread? A bit too lame, don't you think?

How can I get the Utopia "new" for so cheap? I had to pay more than msrp last year for Clear and Meze Empyrean with warranty because there was no other way to import them from my country (in south asia). I would try to take risk for some non warranty import if the Utopia can be found for so...

I have the OG focal clear and the stock cables are horribly stiff. When I read about how terrible the focal cables are in some audio related Facebook groups, I thought they were over exaggerating. I even asked some users why they were using some cheap 60-70$ cables from the likes of hart audio...

Will look into it. I haven't even heard of the Amp tbh. I did hear about burson conductor and something 3x (forgot the model name) in OG Empyrean thread a lot.

I am not saying the Clear OG had poor bass. It definitely has better bass slam than the Arya (Though I prefer Arya to clear overall). But after getting the Empyrean OG with the Alcantara pad, the bass slam and extension were noticeably better. Btw I don't like how Empyrean sounds with the...

Maybe there's some synergy issues or your unit is faulty? Pretty sure the OG Empyrean was significantly better than the Focal Clear OG in both bass and treble region. The Focal had a slight metallic tone to its treble. I haven't heard he1000se but even compared to the Susvara, the Empyrean's...

Well, the OG empyrean is still my most favorite HP. You know the soft corner lol. Specially in Metal Genre, it sounds too good imo without ANY FATIGUE with the Alcantara pad and the Meze upgraded silver plated copper cable. As I have spent quite a lot in both of the upgraded cables of Meze, I...

Those of you who own the OG Empyrean, the new ELITE and Susvara, what's your opinion on the Elite in terms of strength of Susvara over the OG Empy? From my ~1 month experience with the Susvara, the dynamics, detail retrieval, clarity and bass quality (obviously not the quantity) seems better on...
