I'm looking for recommendations. Used to own some high-end gear, but sold it off a while back as couldn't justify holding onto it for the amount I listened. Now, with being home much more, looking to jump back in.
What I used to own:
Audeze LCD-X with AudioGD NFB 11.28 - wonderful bass, but very recessed highs - wished for more detail
Focal Elex with AudioGD NFB 11.28 - very detailed (almost too much), liked this setup a lot but wished for a bit more bass
Meze Empyrean with Woo WA11 - very smooth sound signature, but seemed to lack in detail
Now as said I'm starting from scratch. I'm good with open cans, but closed would be preferred as long as not leaving too much sound quality on the table.
Ideally I don't want to spend more than $2000 on the whole setup, but am not restricted in spending even up to $4000 if it's warranted.
