Thanks for the info. I always assumed that the HE-500 had more transparency because I found the HE-4 less veiled than the LCD-2 rev1. With that said, I go with the LCD-2 because of that same authority you speak of and the intimacy of the LCD-2 can be very charming.

I guess those impressions will vary. Without elaborating any further p.t.; the LCD-2 sounds more natural than the HE-500 (I own both). I can understand why some find the HE-500 an enjoyfull headphone though. I do as well. But the LCD-2 portrays the music more authorative. IMHO.
And I "just" own LCD-2 rev.1...and the HE-500 is more veiled.
