This subject was brought up in the Apex Pinnacle vs. Leben 300XS amp review thread and I thought it deserved its own thread.
For the record, my 800s, #6320, seem to have lots of bass but there is slightly mild chill in the lower treble compared to my T1s and PS1000s
(not bothersome with my B52 amp and CDs that aren't boosted in this region).
The rumor is that newer 800s are toned down and/or are more bass-heavy, and that there have been a few frequency-response changes made along the way.
Can people post their 800 serial # and what they hear?
What the heck is going on here? It sure would be nice if Sennheiser could chime in.
This is important to me because I feel the 800s are close to perfect except for this lower-treble bump.
Mine are liquid, the soundstage is awesome, and when everything is right, I get lost in the music and feel I never need to listen to speakers again.
