I heard the d2000 and d5000 both use the same drivers. If that is true, then the d5000 should not be that much different from a d2000 correct?

With ill-matched tubes, the D2000 can accentuate sibilance, but 99% of the time it's sibilance already inherent in the recording/source, IMHE. : ) |

I'd classify the highs as bright yet clean, very detailed, not harsh or grainy...but again, different amp, so YMMV. |
