I don't know what detail and technicality is, but mad dogs do have a flatter frequency response to the he400.
Thanks for clarifying. I think I should clarify too... When I use the price difference of LCD-2 and LCD-3, I was pointing out that higher end headphones users really appreciate that subtle improvement at the very high end despite the sharp diminishing returns. You yourself agree that MDs, despite how good they sound, are still pretty far off in comparison to the higher end headphones. So what makes you think that the overall value of Audezes and Hifimans will depreciate drastically because of MDs?
You guys are like ships passing in the night.
* No one said "HE-6" prior to their vigorous defense by gikigill .
* Someone ( deadie ) who has the Mad Dog and the LCD TWO claims that he would buy the Mad Dog in preference to the LCD TWO
* The LCD3 is superior to the LCD2, otherwise they could never have sold it for very long in the ruthless comparison world of head-fi
* So, no one claimed the Mad Dog is better than HE-6 or the LCD3, that's a "straw man" argument.
PS The detail and technicalities of the Mad Dog 3.2 are superior to the HE-400...
Please take that with a grain of salt and not as one of the 10 audiophile commandments
Make every day a fun day filled with music and friendship!

Are you hinting that the Mad dogs and the Alpha dogs are in the same situation?

I'm not speaking for which of the two is superior (haven't heard either of them), but the bolded simply isn't true. In a completely hypothetical situation, Audeze could have simply changed the name from LCD-2 to LCD-3 with double the price and you'd still see a large number of Head-Fiers purchasing them and claiming a noticeable improvement in sound (large enough number of people that Audeze could continue on doing it and going about their business).
The sad fact is that this type of stuff has actually happened a few times before, though I won't point out any particular manufacturers or headphones. I'm already off topic as-is, and I don't want to ruffle too many feathers.
3.2s just arrived today and they sound fantastic. It has been awhile since I heard the 3.0s, so I can't make a comparison. These have a sound signature that I really enjoy - non-fatiguing, neutral (or thereabouts), and....big-boned. I don't know how else to say it, but some headphones push sound that doesn't have much weight behind it. Yes, big-boned, like Charles Barkley in his prime.
The best part in my opinion is that they work so well with everything I've thrown at them. No genre I've listened to so far has been disappointing on them. From bass-heavy dubstep, rap, trance to piano music to classical music to rock, whatever I feed them comes back out in amazing quality. Wish the rest of the world worked like that.
