Yes, "weight" probably describe better than "impact" what I was trying to say.
The only thing I miss in my W5000 is that sort of "full bodied" sound that the HD650 has. Having said that I prefer by far the W5000 to the HD650 as a whole.
I have to underline that at the moment I have compared the two above with quite poor amplification, as I have been using the headphone jack of the Lavry Black and stock cable for the HD650.
The Lavry was really struggling to drive the HD650 and I am sure they improve a lot with extra market cables.
As for the W5000, the lack of "weight" can probably be solved with the right amp (probably tubes). The best synergy I found with them was with the new RS B-52 (well, a bit pricey) and the exctremely cheap Chinese Original Master.
