After reading all 70 pages of this thread, I've almost settled on the Audeze LCD-2. But I'm gun shy after my 1st high-end headphone purchase, which proved to be a disappointment. I bought the Beyerdynamic T90, which, to my ears, had no bass whatsoever, even when EQ'd.
I'll be using them for 100% Spotify Premium listening. They will be connected to my desktop computer via a Schiit Asgard 2 headphone amp and a Schiit Modi DAC.
My tastes run to jazz funk and funk revival (funk era Herbie Hancock, James Brown, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, etc). I love the itchy feeling in your eardrums when they're stimulated by some lovely sub-bass. I like to feel bass much as hear it.
For those of you who own or have listened to the LCD-2, do you think I'll be able to experience that with them?
Also, will the Asgard 2 be sufficient to drive the LCD-2?
I also considered the Ultrasone Pro 900, but sibilance hurts my ears, and it sounds like those would be rough for me.
