*scratches head* that's supposed to be the other way around, HD800 is extremeley revealing and undeniably clinical in it's rendering, and does NOT make bad recordings sound better.
Everyone hears differently and in my setup, the LCD2 posses razor sharp transients, whilst excellent for excellent recordings - to me, especially when trying to relax with low level listening, I find it uncomfortable - and am always finding ways to blunt the transients. The HD800 - whilst it does have a treble tilt to my ears, do have a smoother, less aggressive transient that I find very soothing. I control the treble fatigue by making sure the volume stays low - I cannot crank the HD800 too loudly. But for my purposes of low level listening - I find them phenomenal.
