i'm thinking to myself that as i am more than merely mildly pleased with my Empyreans, that I actually will not upgrade to the Elite Empyreans for a change. typically, i'd jump on this so i'll get to enjoy the full product life cycle of the Elite Empyrean, so buying it early on in its product life cycle will ensure that i get to enjoy it for most of its cycle.
in this particular case, i am really not feeling "hungry" for much improvement at all. sure, i want slightly more bass, more powerful bass, more solid bass, but really, it's more than just adequate bass - it's perfectly fine, even though the Empyrean's strength isn't bass, obviously. it's also not necessarily a weakness either. just not a strength.
all in all, i don't know why i'd be unhappy about the Empyrean. if Meze didn't have the Elites coming out, i'd be blissfully not thinking about upgrade-itis whatsoever in this atypical case!
any thoughts, comments, fellow high end lovers?
