I just scored a B-stock LCD MX4 at half-price in the recently launched holiday sale. I should be over the moon about this, especially, since I also scored an LCDi4 in a recent sale, and I have the LCD-X... So why am I not over the moon? Because the MX4 is neither the LCD 4 nor the LCD 4z, which i consider to be the real "summit" Audeze cans at the moment, and possibly better sounding from reviews I have read.. Am I crazy, or being too greedy?
The funny thing is that I might actually like the MX4 better than the 4 or the 4z depending on my own subjective tastes, if I had actually heard the latter 2.. On the other hand, I ought to be happy with the -X, the i4, and MX4 in my stable, as I would expect anybody else to be, so why am i not feeling ecstatic over this purchase? Audiophilia nervosa in overdrive?
i don't really know. I just bought the MX4, so I do not know how it actually sounds yet. The worst part, I think is not knowing how either the LCD-4 or the 4z also sound like in order to judge for myself whether I would like them better or not... Sigh!
Can anyone talk about the differences between the three, and let me know what I might miss.
Also, by way of amps, I have the Violectric V281 and also the Cavalli Monoprice Liquid Platinum, and I think those have me covered as far as the power demands of the LCD-4 are concerned, which makes me think that the 4 could also have been a good possibility were I to get it, but then again, I am not sure that I would necessarily like the 4 better...
