Day one with the Utopia - WOW
I'm usually late to the party when it comes to splurging on toys; part of me worries about getting sucked into the hype but 4 years later people are still talking about Utopias so I figured might as well take the plunge.
Being a huge fan of the HD800 (best bargain in hifi) what I'm hearing is more detail, better imaging, clarity, punch, bass and a cohesive albeit smaller soundstage that's super deep (I get it now). The bass is excellent, tight, goes low, punchy, pretty happy with the bass and have my LCD3 when I'm in the mood for more - otherwise bass is probably pretty close to perfect for tonal balance. Also the treble is just as sparkly as the HD800 without any sibilance, as a result I think the tone is better.
Having said all that, these are luxury products and if you can't own the Utopia, TT2, or some other TOTL gear for that matter, you can enjoy music all the same so be careful scratching the itch it's expensive. Please don't put these on your credit card.
