I probably need a better amp but sometimes it can feel a little dark. I thought the Rad0 would sound better in that regard. It’s probably the amp pairing though. The other thing is since mine are the prefazors it lacks the sub bass punch of the fazor model but sounds less bright than the regular 3s.
In my opinion if the Aryas had a bit more forward mids they would probably be my end game but my LCD 3 smokes them on that front. Forward but just enough to not get intrusive with great texture and detail.
The Rad are a bit dark themselves it' the upper mids that make Audeze sound a bit darker than some headphones. You're not going to get anything form the Rad that you wouldn't from an LCD-3.
Maybe look for a HE-500 they pop up on ebay from time to time they have a bit more leading edge than the Audeze phones so will be a good contrast to your LCD-3.

Not sure why Hifiman strayed from the 500s. They don’t have anything in their lineup that was as lush as those and they discontinue models more than any other manufacturer I’ve seen.

I believe what you need is a "faster" headphones. The LCD3 is supposed to be the lushest (i.e. slow) planar out there and certainly does not lack sub-bass quantity. The RAD-0's smaller driver diagphrams and strong magnets would be faster, though may not have as much sub-bass quantity.
Forget any hifiman if you want "punch". I had the HE500 before and it is no match the the LCD-3. I think the RAD-0 is more similar to the LCD-X in bass tuning.
I own a TC, Susvara, and LCD-4. Susvara is my least favorite. I need heft and the Susvara is to thin and to ethereal to my ears. The other two headphones are great.
Would the Rad-0 or the Empyrean have be
1. Fuller?
2. Have more Bass?
3. More Romantic?
4. More seductive midrange?
5. More musical?
I am NOT looking for to much warmth- rather FULLNESS..

1, 2, 4 all go to Emyrean. 3-male goes to Enpyrean, 3-female goes to RAD-0, 5 goes to RAD-0. RAD-0 is VERY rthymic, the kind of headphones just keep you tapping your toes, even with fast pace music, and moderate amping. I feel Emyrean would get "stuffy" with fast pace music (bass frequency decays too long?). So it depends on what kind of music you listen to.

Honestly, I think it's extremely hard to find a headphone has more romantic and seductive midrange compare to Susvara. Especially with females voice. I do really like Empyrean a lot, but still, a well driven Susvara (in my case, I love it with Liquid Gold) beat the "seductive" vocal of Meze. Not to mention, the vocal texture as well (and soundstage, micro detail, separation, and so on).

I think I agree with you in terms of speed. I’m currently debating between the Stellias and the Verite. I don’t really care for tubes so maybe the Stellias would be worth it. The prefazors have less sub bass.
