I think Tyll is in a bit of a tough place with the HD800. In some sense he's forced to put things on the wall as purely unmodded/unEQd/with a variety of amps. I think Tyll would agree that setup just right, the HD800 meets or exceeds basically everything out there. However, he can't really rate it as "if you do X mod or EQ, and use one of these certain amps then..." He has to rate it as is, and I think most of us HD800 lovers even agree that it needs something to solve a couple of its issues. However easily those issues are solved with DSP, amp synergy or mods, they're still issues he has to take into account for the wall of fame.
So, while I think the HD800, in the system I have it in, would likely blow the doors off any Elear setup, I also recognize you can't really do that for the purpose of ranking/review/WoF. Yes, it's easier to fix frequency response issues (which the HD800 has) than it is lack of soundstage and resolution (which the Elear has, at least in comparison to the HD800).
(I also recognize that some people don't mind the HD800's stock frequency response, or even like it, but I think we can all recognize that the generalized consensus that Tyll has to play to when it comes to FR is that it's too strident/bright in a purely off the shelf into a neutral amp scenario).
