Actually, I think I get those honours. I've been noodling with the idea for awhile (even pre-lindrone acquisition) since the E5's don't really fit my ears, but I've wanted the sound signature for music where the Etys kind of lack. Since lindrone isn't fond of the Etys but loved his E5's, I thought he was the perfect ear for this.
I'm saving up for these, but I'm getting them *instead* of the E5's. At this point, I'm not planning on getting rid of the Etys as I sometimes want (and need) their crystalline quality. Okay, okay, I admit it -- I'm somewhat of an Ety addict. I go through withdrawl when listening to other phones. But I need more bass sometimes! And I think the 2X-S have the added bass though more clarity than the E5's. Santucci reminds me of my favourite monitor designers with his love for sound. I think his goal was to make the best sound possible so that you *don't* feel the need to turn up the volume whilst listening. Does that make sense???
