New Head-Fier
the ed16 definitely has a bigger stage and more space between instruments than the e-mi; highs are thicker-textured (though not necessarily superior) on the ed16. i would defintiely remove the cloth screens on the e-mi nozzle, which get gunked up and veil the sound--just crimp the edge with a needle and peel 'em off.
Thank you for your insight. I think I'm going to give the ED16 a try and see how they perform.
