Mac,
 
you just made my day. IMO, the XC is better than the 900. For me, its now a 3:1 ratio in terms of hearing time between the XCs and 900s. Again all, it is only my subjective experience. 

 


I just got TH900, and possibly will get LCDXC.
But can you tell me which one has bigger Sound Stage and better mids ?

Thanks in advance,

I've never heard the TH-900 but I did have the TH-600 for a while and sold them because of the mids being so weak. Some say the mids on the TH-900 are even more distant so the XC will win in that department. Hands down. Not even a contest.

TH-900 for soundstage. The recessed mids and huge boosts to the bass and treble also give the illusion that the soundstage is bigger than what it actually is.

The XC are reference headphones. They're not as fun to listen to as the Fostex but technically they're much better.

It is darker than TH900 ? only thing that I am hesitating is the weight and comfort issue of LCD-XC.
Wish they can implement SINGLE sided stator magnet like all new HE560 to reduce the weight.

That's exactly what I was trying to say. The XC's are better sonically but on Friday and Saturday nights I'm taking out the more fun , bigger bAss Fostex girls!
On Sundays it will be the XC I take to church and dinner !

it's close, but better soundstage goes to the Fostex.  With regards to the Mids, LCD-XC is much better than the Fostex (Fostex's are somewhat recessed).

Imo the soundstage of the XC is better because it is much deeper and with better instrument imaging.

This. I feel imaging is indeed better and the overall sound is balanced compared to the 900.

Beautiful! I use a Soloist myself. Keen to know what you think of the pairing once you have sufficient hours with them.  
 
Congrats!

(Though I still think very highly of my TH-900s FWIW).

Wow! If only I could afford the XC's at the moment.
