  Is there anything lusher and smoother than the HD 650s? I have heard the LCD 2.2 and I did not like them . They were a bit more aggressive sounding than the 650s if my memory serves me correctly. I am looking at Audioquest Nighthawks. Has anyone tried them ?

Tried the Nighthawks for a few weeks from a friend, they are darker sounding (have less treble/highs) but not smoother than the HD650.

What else would you suggest?

I think you'll be hard pushed to find another headphone that is as good overall than the hd650 if its lush and smooth that you're after. Yes there are smoother sounding headphones but none that match their fr and depth etc. Fwiw I thought the Lcd2.2 were are smoother but too closed-in sounding. Maybe lcd3?

maybe DT-150 but its been a while since I heard one, other than that an LCD3 non-fazor possibly.

That is true. I have been asking this question on headfi for quite a while now. 
I have only heard the fazors. They don't sound as smooth as the HD 650s.

What amplifier and DAC are you running it with?

I own them. You can see them in the pic.
DT 150s sound absolutely euphoric, but are not as lush as the 650s.

It is an entry level set up. FiiO K5 as an amp and the FiiO X5 as a dac. It does have more than enough power to drive the HD 650s well. It puts 150 mw into 300 ohms.

I heard them a few times and it was one of the best for a closed HD650 sound, I haven't seen them for sale in Hawaii and the one that I heard was at a music store and the personal headphone of one of the workers.  A little of an ugly duckling but they sound like a swan to me.
 
PS: the picture in your avatar is a little dark on my screen, the headphones seem to blend in to the table they are sitting on.

I agree. They look ugly, but have a heart of gold. Best closed back headphones IMO. They also do electronic music better than the 650s - though, nothing can touch the 650s for acoustic music except the R10s that I tried a few months ago, but they are very rare to find + out of my budget.

I own the DT-150 right now, but I use the DT-100 velour earpads on them. With their stock earpads, I found them to have too much bass.
 
But yeah, honestly they don't sound like closed headphones, they really do sound like an open headphone.

Yes my lcd2 were the none fazor so cant comment on them.

Power isn't everything, but suit yourself.

Just grabbed another pair of lcds. Pre fazor 2.2 this go around. These to my ears are much better sounding than the fazor. I'd still choose the 650 over it though.

I don't know if it just me but this is a rather rude reply IMO.  but it could also be lost in translation since your location is Denmark so English may not be your first language?
