I have did get a demo of the ALO modded ATH-SQ5 with SXC cable a while back. They sound nice, and I liked them better than I remember my Senn HD25-1 sounding. They were a little "Grado'y sounding" to me. They are better than a stock ATH-A900 in terms of detail and tighter bass which is not as sloppy; and slightly below my modded A900 with internal dampening and silver plated copper cable ($300) which had a better soundstage and more bass volume, but less bass control and less midrange detail. They didn't get congested in the mids with complex musical passages like the modded A900 (which sound like plaidplatypus's A900 Limited). An APS recabled D2000 ($450) sounds better, as would the ESW10, but I have no idea about the ESW9.
