Apart from lack of musicality, what aspect of the sound of the K702's didn't you like. I'm referring to tonal balance here. Are you looking for more warmth, more bass volume and impact? If so, then the Denon's may well be what you want though they take bass presentation to a whole new level. They Denons will take you on a full pendulum swing away from the K702 sound. Have you thought of a Grado? Exciting cans those!! |

Since it doesn't have tubes you therefore lack overall experience with ear interpretation and your punishment is to listen to his album ten times in a row. |
