LCD-2F, Gjallarhorn/Mani have better bass (to my ears) but do not have tonal balance and openess of Arya (@ my listening 80 dB SPL). In no way does that mean Arya is weak in LF. It is actually very good."bass beast" was exagerated haha, excitement took me off-guard. I don't want to misinform anyone, It's true that with EQ it has bass capabilities that you can't find with default tuning but far from "bass beast" ofc... I need to keep trying high-end HPs

True that! We should rename Arya to Thorr!But I already own the Arya which has similar godlike bass capabilities
Interested in the LCD-X or LCD-2 as well as a sidegrade or slight downgrade to the Aryas. How do they compare? I'm thinking about selling the Aryas, I still can't get over how dorky they look on the head. I was zooming with my friends and they laughed their asses off when I put them on.

Not sure if he was being sarcastic but as an owner of an HD800S among a few others see my signature, they DO have great bass when fed right. I do so with a vintage speaker amp feeding the HD800S via the speaker taps................

Yes, I completely agree. I fed mine from the speaker taps of a fully balanced, Class A Denon SA-1 when I lived in Japan.

I never understood why so many people claimed the HD800 lacks bass - I thought it was spectacular. And I also had the OG HE-6 at that time. That is why I was asking if PointyFox's comment was sarcasm or not.
I have neither HD800 or HE-6 now, but I chose the Arya specifically because it was described as being HD800-like with flatter bass response. I really wish I could A-B them now; anyway, I freaking love the bass on the Arya.
Oregonian, I I notice you have the SE Master 1 - I had a couple of days with one in Japan, always wished I had bought one for myself. How do you rate it?
