Just wondering if anyone else found the HD800 to be too bright for most violin music? I sometimes find the very high notes almost painful.
e.g.
Partita No. 2 In D Minor, BWV 1004.: Ciaccona (http://youtu.be/aBQkRzZYN8I)
Beethoven violin concerto http://youtu.be/YIB03fS179s
It's even more apparent if you use higher quality recordings.
I am curious if you regularly attend Classical concerts. I've been to 3 this year-and I remember thinking to myself (with a chuckle) a few times-WOW those violins (35 of them!) can be BRIGHT sometimes. Not very familiar with the HD800 but I do recall the LCD-2 to be "rolled off" in the treble (to my ears).
