I was commenting purely on the soundstage. It's the most spacious sound of all the closed cans I've heard.
People dislike the W5000 for other reasons- incohesiveness, lack of treble/bass extension, resonance issues, nasal vocals are all common complaints from its naysayers- but I don't think anyone's ever denied its soundstage.

Tyll doesn't like them either.
