exactly
I've had many pairs of speakers over the years and still keep a couple pairs to switch out for a change now and then but if a speaker had these characteristics I'm not sure how long it would last at the house. It (K612) certainly has issue's but when it shines it really shines bright. I am going to keep it around at least long enough to set up my eq and see if the correction makes it a headphone I feel I can keep with my limited time to listen coupled with my other headphone options. I will say that I have a large head and the headphone is extremely comfortable.
Ha! same here, I keep 2 sets of full-range and one book-shelf, switch them once in a while. The sound of k612 is "raw", comparing to the rest of the world and I like to keep one, especially mine is MIA.
One question though, not sure which one is better? sw or hw EQ? I try to keep the audio signal path simple.
