Impedance doesn't have as much to do with it as sensitivity does.
Aviators have 95dB/mW sensitivity while the M50s have 99dB, shouldn't they be indistinguishable?

D1100'S are very different from the M50's. Dark/warm/laidback with good bass response, detail, and soundstage is way bigger than the M50's. Very impressive. I sold them however, 'cause of the recessed mids. Just felt too far away from the singer. But overall they're really great cans. Comfy and isolating.
How long have you burned in your M50's for just out of curiosity? I feel like the mids do move forward with burn-in but remain just slightly recessed.
Yes to my ears, the singer sounds further away on the D1100's. Not necessarily a bad thing if you want a big soundstage and just want to relax and listen to the music (the denons just have a different sound signature - it's a matter of preference.) I enjoyed them for sometime until I realized I didn't prefer it as much as I preferred my other cans. I just like a more intimate sound. They're great to try out something different though and to see what your preferences are.
Hm you should check out the HFI-680's then. Those are 'phones I'd love to hear. They're the most neutral of the HFI series and I read they're similar-sounding to the Aviators.
