Everyone's ears & shape, listening level, the genre of music, or ear performance is different. I find the arya for example very sibilant on almost any listening level, and i'm talking about good recorded music as well. On the other hand i don't feel like they lack bass
The arya are going above the harman curve, so it puts some energy there. I personally can't listen to the arya without eq, because my ears are bleeding . Used oratorys EQ, but not as much, let bass untouched and gave additional -2db 8k up, but even this could not tame the arya for me. There are too many factors that can change the perception of how it sounds.
For example, i found the clears very shouty as well, not at the same fr. as the arya, but somewhere else. It's fascinating, how different the view is. I know one more person, who can't listen to the arya for long. Our earshape and size is about the same.
Despite what some people told you here,
it's not true. If the xduoo 05 plus is as powerful as the BAL version, looking at the advertisement, you can run the arya without any limitation. I can say this with 100% certainty because I have compared it against a far more powerful AMP with A/B switch.
You can calculate what kind of power you need on some sites. Ifi audio platform provides this as well for example. The amount of power should be enough for quiet music, unless you eq the cans and use negative pre amp. Only than and if your ear performance is not the best, it could limit, otherwise you will be just fine. As long as the amp will have 0.8-1W, enough voltage/current, it will run the arya without any trouble to volumes that damage your ear for good.
The ananda are very bright, even brighter than the arya, but they don't have this sparkling energy. The drivers don't vibrate as much and I don't like the 800s as well. You should give the Audeze LCD-2 or focal clear a try, if you can, before deciding on the arya. The clears are also very bright and instruments sounds a bit more realistic in my opinion, while the lcd's are far more relaxing and punchy, and even terrible source sounds okay.
The arya are not accurate, when it comes to instruments, at least to my ears with experience how instruments sounds like. If you don't mess around way too much with EQ and use negativ pre amp as well, the sound stage remains big. Like the LCD very much as well
