The impressions seem to be pretty positive despite the limited number of them and the limited details posted. I owned the K702 for a while but slightly preferred the HD650, mainly wishing for something between the two for presentation/tonal balance. So my question to Farnsworth would be about the HE-4 compared to the K702.
Does the bass have more weight/impact compared to the K702? (I expect that this is the case since it is an ortho and my Thunderpants clone probably poses a health risk due to prodigious bass.)
You say that the mids are a little more recessed, is it a slight difference? Is it more of a slight warmth to the sound of the mids?
Is the treble a little less pronounced with the HE-4?
The HE-4 does sound like what I wanted, a midway point between the K702 and HD650. Something slightly more relaxed than the K702 is what I am after, with more weight and extension in the bottom end without the bloat that the HD650 can sometimes present. I like both the K702 and HD650, I just found myself using the HD650 more often. Overall I would like a step up and really don't want to buy the LCD-2 at this point in time, so the HE-4 looks quite promising. I just wish that there was more info available.
