Plus, for the price of a sub+HD800, you could pick up a damn nice pari of speakers. Then again, if you had a decent speaker amp to drive the speakers, you could run the HD800 off the speaker taps and you wouldn`t need the sub.
Anyway, as has been said many times : those people who claim the HD800 is bass-light have simply not yet heard them driven well.
My HD 800s are driven by the Sennheiser HDVD 800, and I would never say they are lacking in bass. There is just the right amount, just as strong, but not more strong, than miss and treble. Also, there are no overemphasized trebles as some have found with other amps.
The right amp makes such a difference.
