The DTX-100 seem to be pretty new, I found only few reviews so far - and those tell quite different stories. From "wow, best you can get for the money" through "not that great", from "clean, flawless sound with good bass" through "slightly booming basses which only disco kids will like" - I found all kind of contradicting comments. So - who has actually heard them? What did you like, what not?
A bit background: I consider using them when listening Jazz Rock (Stanley Clark, Billy Cobham, Marcus Miller), Latin (Sergio Mendes "Encanto"), Salsa (Sanmera "Leche Condensata"). I once used to play e-bass, and all this music has great bass players, so bass is important. But - heavy basses, shreeking highs and non existing mids is not what I'm actually looking for. Rather a pretty clean sound with good, but not exaggerated bass performance. I once tried CX-300 and found them just dull - the bass was killing everything else. Then I read a very promising review telling me the DTX-100 should be exactly what I want, but after some web search I was left quite confused due to the contradicting judgments I found.
Anybody out there who has actually used the DTX-100, maybe even with music of the kind I mention above?
Thanks
