Has anybody compared HD800s with HD800 in a detailed manner? Could you please give me the link if they have done it already?
Also, I disagree that the LCD-X midrange is lacking. I find the X to be quite a reference sound (Audeze-style). Listen again .

I am not sure a darkened version of the HD800 would appeal to me, since I already have the LCD-X to rock out and get the full Audeze bass. From reading your posts, the bass of the HD800S still doesn't match the LCD-X.

FYI, the HD800S are listed at US$1700 by the major retailers. I believe that price includes a balanced cable. Same price as the LCD-X.
Rock on, y'all.

Do you happen to have the fr graph of your LCD-X handy? Unfortunately I've seen a good amount of variation from pair to pair, and while I will concede that "neutral" varies from person, I find my pair to sound the way it reads: a 15dB drop from 1.5 to 3.5kHz (which is of course a million times better than a 15db boost, given that out ears are more sensitive in this region...)
I realize a perfectly flat response wouldn't actually sound good either, I would just prefer less of a cut, which requires some EQ compensation for me.
Can you post your graph, for comparison? Thanks.
At that 'supreme levels' it shakes a bit,right?
I did hear some shaking going on tonight, listening to the Alabama Shakes album "Sound and Color" track Future People. But, that may be the way the music is engineered.
Haha...Were you playing it at high volume?
Yea, probably louder than I listen to the HD800...just kinda goes with the LCD-X and the music, ya know!!
Dude,have you heard about WyWires red cable for LCDx? There is a thread on it;they say it does wonders for LCDx.
