I have both both the empyrean and the utopia and that would be a difficult one for me. I feel like between these 2's radically different presentations I have all my bases covered honestly and would not want to let either go. If it were one tho, it would be the Utopia. For a couple reasons, one, the empyrean is finer from a build quality point of view and two I can probably get more money for it on the secondary market. But I'd never, honestly. Not yet.
Thanks for this – makes me feel better . Because I cannot decide, so it seems there is no sale going forward. I also carefully read the criticisms some put out here against the Utopia, and I can assure them, plug the Utopia into a powerful amp like an ican pro and you will hear their authority, the opposite of thin. They are transformed. The lovely Empy sounds pretty much the same from whereever I play it, one of its big advantages.
