Would you say the 3F is a "side step" from the X according to your experience with the X? Or would it be considered an "upgrade"? I was considering the LCD-3F in the future but not too sure it'll be worth the extra $2000 now based on some reviews on this forum if I'll be expecting a subtle difference in quality between the two.
It's not an upgrade, it's just different. Quite different in fact, as the 3F has the silky mids. The stuff that gives me goosebumps. It does that while maintaining soundstage, speed and accuracy, the 3F and X are very close on those counts. All depends what type of sound you'd prefer. X is more neutral. To me, they lack some 'magic'. To others, the neutrality is perfect.
Edit: A little kick to the upper freqs of the 3F works a treat.
