I am fairly new to this forum and have spent the past few weeks reading hundreds of posts, especially anything concerning the Denon D2000 and Little Dot Mk V (which, because of this forum, I have just acquired). You are right about the sorry about your wallet part. I am already curious about the Little Dot Mk IV for my HD600.
Anyway. After buying the D2000 last winter (I needed a good pair of closed headphones at work) coupled with the Total Bithead (now just upgraded to the Little Dot Mk V) I see no way back to normal stereo speakers. I am member of a local high end club and have been lucky enough to listen to set ups in the $200 000 class (at home I have a 100 times cheaper rig).
However, these high end set ups do not come close to the D2000 and the Little Dot Mk V when it comes to dynamics and bass punch playing my favorite music. I mostly listen to progressive metal, gothic metal and symphonic metal. Yes, high end set-ups are superior playing blues and jazz (which I also like). But how come they cannot play metal?
I have always assumed it is because of the inferior quality of metal recordings. However, most of these recordings sound excellent through my Denons. And the frequency should be flatter and distortion about as low as the full-size set-ups I have been listening to.
So my questions are:
1. How come full size high-end set-ups make my heavier music sound boring?
2. What full size speakers and amp will provide the dynamic sound I know and love from my Denons? I mean, I do not even feel like listening to music through loudspeakers in my living room any longer *haha*
