I couldn't find any thread about this. So I guess I had to try it!
RS-1 with Big Bowls
I find the GS-1000 already sibilant at times, but RS-1 with big bowls really are sibilant. The soundstage is wider, but not as deep as GS-1000's. This is probably because the RS-1's is just lost with these big bowls. Some people predict it would sound thin. Well it does not. The body is about the same as GS-1000, but the problem is it sounds wrong... Well, do not use big bowls with RS-1...
GS-1000 with Small Bowls
The sound with this is very good to me. The cans get very bassy! It's a kinda like the HD650 and I love that! It's very deep, impactful and defined! I can't imagine what would happen if I tried the tape mod...
The soundstage is not as wide as with the big bowl, it's about the same as RS-1 with small bowls, but it remains deep. The cans are not as bright anymore, it's darker than RS-1 actually. But the resolution is still there and it is better than RS-1. It is probably the best cans I've heard so far.
I was going to return the GS-1000 because if its brightness and keep the RS-1. But now, RS-1 will have to go. I have not tried the flatpads, but I don't want to lose more soundstage and the bass will probably be way too much, even for a basshead like me. I hope GS-1000 will try the small bowls and share their opinion!
