The midrange of the CD3K and SA5000 are different, but I certainly wouldn't say that the SA5000's midrange is any warmer, so, Zoide, I imagine you'd have similar feelings about the SA5K basd on your comments about the CD3K.
Regarding the soundstange, the CD3K certainly does a better job of presenting hte music as if it was coming from outside your head, in front of you. No quesitons for me there. The soundstange is also very wide, meaning instruments from right to left are placed out greatly. In my opinion, it can sound a bit exaggerated. Still, I think this is one of the virtues of the CD3K
The SA5000, on the other hand, has a depth of the soundstage that the CD3K lacks. I can tell better how far from me various instruments are.
