Having a little showdown at my house. [Thanks to T-Money for the HD800 loaner]
I didn't realize the HD800s were so big.

Is the challenger winning any points at the moment?

On weight & comfort, treble presence (which is a double-edged sword) and maybe by a hair in imaging. Quick A/Bs are revealing the LCD-2s, in a word, sound more "real." Every instrument with proper timbre. Every voice natural. Proper sonic weight. They're both very good.

so if you were to only have one, you'll probably go with the LCD-2s?

Haven't spent enough time with it to reach any conclusions yet.

The difference in detail retrieval should be pretty obvious.

Thanks. Trying to keep it simple, but I have a thing for black and white. I'm considering trading off the HA-160DS for a LCD-2.
If you get LCD-2s, I have a feeling the Burson would be sorely missed...

Hearing a bit of that, I don't think it's actual detail retrieval though, rather just more high frequency detail due to the tonal balance, and a more spacious stage to lay everything out in. Will confirm.

The x or z axis isn't startlingly bigger than the LCD-2, but the y axis definitely is. That y axis makes the HD800 feel more like a room filled with sound, which is nice.
I'm still yet to go through the gamut of hi-res, low-res songs, different genres, raw without crossfeed, with cross feed engaged, etcetera. I think I may put up my thoughts in a separate thread after I get the HE-500...and possibly an Audiophilleo in the mix.

how is the HE-500 compared to the HD650 hooked up with the Lyr? =)
