You must like treble! I find even with the foams the high end is too much.

well, i do! i am a big trance fan and without treble, the entire scope of the music is sheered down. but, even to non-treble fans, i would think the foams make it rather dark. well, i have abnormally small ear canals so the foam would bunch up in them causing the sound to be muffled. that is why i chose the ety foam and chopped it short so that the foam would only stabilise itself in my ears and the music would not be as effected.

Perhaps not every wooden diaphragm is exactly alike? Seems like it wood be hard to control for natural variations in wood.

It's probably more likely that I'm just too picky and expect perfection from everything I hear....

Could it also be a matter of synergy and taste? I understand that the JVC's are a little bit bright, this probably goes well with Duncan's Sony X1060 but less synergy with Kloan's touch? And Shigzeo seems to like an exposed top-end.

Okay, one thing I want to note in the early stages at this point (I don't want to discuss too much about the audio qualities before a little more burn in takes place)-

I really am blown away by the level of dynamics these maintain at lower listening volumes. Only the Ultrasone 780's are this satisfying down low like this. This is a great quality since it'll encourage me to keep it down.

That's exactly what I love about my IE8s. Good bass punch at low volumes even with background noise around me. How would you compare the Victors to the Senns in that regard?

To my ears it seems that the FX500's reach a little lower than the IE8's, and it's more controlled too. There's less mid bass coloration, which helps it all seem cleaner on the low end.

is there a match of soundstage between IE8 and Fx500?If it is not, I can put my idea of getting it to rest

The size of the soundstage is definitely a bit smaller with the FX500's, but not much at all. By comparison, I find it larger than with the Denon C700's, Turbines, or Atrios. It's second only to the IE8's. And I kind of hesitate to give a very concrete answer at this point because I know they may still be evolving through burn in since this only the second full day I've had them. I was just doing direct back to back comparing with the IE8's to give you a good answer, and just now tonight I found it much closer than I remember in comparing them last night. So, more to come.........

funny, i took out the filter to expose the top end even more! but, i was coming from er4s and the denon c700, both of which are more energetic in treble than the victor.


Ha ha, and I wish I could get a thicker filter.

Thanks for comparison. Yea, may be it is still too fast to tell. Waiting for detail review after burn in
