Headphoneus Supremus
I get that. Turns out I've given up on the 'One can to rule them all' idea -- struggling to keep my collection down to 5 sets.I am trying to only have one headphone pretty soon. Just when I think I can pick between Utopia and Empyrean, I basically find myself back at square one. I really like them both but for different reasons, and each one on its own doesn't fulfill all of my desires. I am hoping Meze Elite might be a good compromise to give me most of what I like from the Utopia and Empyrean combined into a single can.
And in some ways, Elite does fit the compromise idea you are suggesting. But it's still closer to Empy than Utopia ... by a fair amount to my ears.
