  Are we talking UPgrade or DOWNgrade?

Ha! My friend, one thing that we will probably always disagree about is how good the M500's are. But one thing that we will never disagree about is how good the Mikros 90's are!

Frankly, I'm not sure I want bass above and beyond what I'm hearing, and I am certainly not a treblehead.

 
It's time to chose a side. 
 
The bassheads who always want more (it's never enough for them) against those who subscribe to the natural balance of things.
 

 
 

 
 
 
They shall be defeated and forced to submit...
 

 
...those who don't will pay dearly.
 

 
No mercy for the bassheads!

It's like the whole soundscape expands and the Mikros 90 exude larger volumes of musical everything.  
Bass is not bloated at all.  It remains balanced, but gets upgraded to "formidable".


So... explain the mod more and it's effects on the FR and tell me if I should do it or not

Nim,
Check Lors' signature.
It's his latest and favorite mod.
Plus it's reversible if you don't like it.
But you need to wait until your stock pair settles down.
I use my stock set at work and the modded set at home and enjoy both.
