Hmmmm, I think you're still trying too much of an objectivist approach there - I see it more in terms of "pick your personal poison". For example, for you the K240S bass seems to bleed too much into the midrange - that's surely a problem, if one perceives that. However, that doesn't happen to me with the K240S - to me, it still seems fairly transparent for whatever reason (individual fit, base tone/harmonics listener type, system synergy...). Now, the easy explanation would be: Lini, you're a basshead. But am I? Strangely enough, I usually prefer bookshelf speakers to otherwise similar floorstanders (e.g. my own Opal 607 to the 615 - and I'd probably rather enjoy a ProAc Tablette than a Quadral Titan
) for bass precision and better imaging - and I dislike the DT770Pro/250 mainly for its overpowering bass coupled with totally drowned out mids, while I do enjoy the DT531 very much. I also did like the K501 very much for quite a long time - it's just a bit too bassless for the music I like these days. Planning to give the K601 a try, though...
