I currently own UE-11s and AKG K701s,
The UE-11s have a somewhat recessed midrange and really lacks bite to the guitars and the natural timbre of drums imo.
However they do provide incredible resolution and details and i feel that they are more transparent and faster than the K701s. The vocals on the UE11s are rich and suductive, without any hollowing or thinness that i find with the K701s.
My AKG K701s provide to my ears, incredible timbre. The tone of these cans is just magical in that drums, symbols, pretty much all instruments sound very real and natural. I just dont like the hollowness and sterile midrange and the lack of really being able to fill the expansive soundstage it gives. It also feels as though the sound is coming from a "gray" background or a "fog". Transients often smear with the AKGs and detail retrieval is definately inferior to my UE11s.
I know that electrostats are my cup of tea but am not in a position to purchase one, or the system they really require right now.
Im hoping that the MRD-SA5000 can give me the speed, resolution, and details of my UE11s, but also give me natural and realistic tone in drums and guitars that the UE11s cannot. Anyone care to help guide my decision? I find that the hollowness and echoey sound in voices of my AKGs to be quite large coloration and am hoping the SA5000 can fill this void.
I just need a can that has excellent resolution, is fast, and has very natural tone to voices and instruments.
I know i need a pair of O2s but that will come later.
