Sorry man, when you make a thread about the second biggest disappointment ever, it makes it hard for people to take you seriously when you say you're happy with your stuff. It just ends up sounding like you're confused or something.
Anyhow, good luck with your stuff then ;D

I'm not sure if you read the reply, but I mentioned that I included as many details as possible to answer the question as I thought that Philodox was trying to psychologize me.
I think you also overlooked my explanation of the kind of bass I was talking. I was talking about the visceral, physical bass that you feel from a nice car sound system that literally vibrates throughout your whole body. If you believe a headphone can produce this level of bass, then I would definetly pay to hear it.
I mentioned afterward that I already know that this kind of bass is impossible in headphones and that I only mentioned it to help Philodox. It's just a general thing that I think most headphone users would feel is missing from their headphones (After hearing a car's sound system).
And yeah, I see what you mean about the thread title. It seems like it's hard for many to grasp the concept that something can still sound pleasing but still be a disappointment (Like Teerawit's experience with the O2's). Someone could buy an Orpheus system and like the sound, but still be disappointed after expecting more from the system.
There's a difference between "happy with my stuff" and liking what I hear. The former implies that I'm perfectly content and am not disappointed (Obviously doesn't apply). The latter, however, just means that what I hear sounds good and doesn't sound bad (Which DOES apply).
Yeesh, I never realized that that one small comment about the headphone not being able to produce the kind of bass a car sound system produces would cause all these people to start saying that I don't like my SA5k's all of a sudden and that I was expecting my M3 to fix "flaws" in the SA5k's.
