Audeze LCD-X

[Icenine2]

I couldn't find any pictures of this but it is in Jude's CanJam Preview.  He stated it was quite good and a bit more neutral than the LCD3.  There's a LCDXC which is closed design.  Wow!  Choices!

Now that's interesting. Can't wait to read some reviews from the experienced peeps here!

Well, LCD-3s with a more neutral signature and similar resolution and IF with that the soundstaging and imaging are improved, we may have a winner.

I don't quite understand what it's selling point is. Is it just supposed to have a different voicing + look?

That's what I'm wondering. It seems a little too close to the LCD-3 price to justify buying it. I would just assume wait for a used LCD-3 I think.

Of course if the rumors are true and its on par or better than the LCD 3, then its like getting a 300 dollar discount

It's said to be more efficient than the LCD2/3.  Better hope people don't pair it with sub thousand dollars amps and dacs, otherwise it'll get moved out of summit-fi and in to full-sized.

Kind of agree. But won't fully judge 'til I hear it.
 
Pricing seems wonky though. IF you're gonna spend $1700 - what's another $300 for the LCD-3 really.

 

[TMRaven]

Yes that is supposedly the selling point.  Neutrality.

Everybody know here LCD3 is quite overpriced and they would replace their position in my opinion because how much will cost one day their top which could be really worth for that price.. 
And LCD-X neutral? ..Finally! It could be really great headphone!!!

Just gotta wait till it actually comes out and people get their hands on them
