However, if there's the slightest hint of imperfection (sibilance) in the treble to my ears, and it's extended on top of that, it completely ruins it for me (ie, denon ahc-751). I'm not saying the treble extension on the X5 is horrible, it's just not good enough quality for me to prefer it over the rich Shure mids. If you want a tad more bass as you say, I think you'll get that w/ the X5. However, it really wont be a huge, noticable difference. If you're interested in the X5 design, and you want something with more punch than the SCL4, give the X10's a try. X10s have the most impressive bass (in terms of single BA driver) I've tried. |
