Yess the 2900s, I wasn't very clear... so the Signatures aren't sibilant? and as far as the reduction in bass, it seems like it may be a more neutral can then right? last one, hows the build quality compared to the Editions and other Pro series? I definitely like the look )
Like you, I find the PRO 2900s to be slightly sibilant. The Edition 8 can be a little sibilant to me as well on certain recordings, but it's less noticeable. The Signature Pro in comparison is definitely not sibilant to me. I'm finding the Signature Pros to be pretty neutral, but still bassy enough to sound fun. I think in terms of sound they're in between the Edition 9 and Edition 8. Build quality is really good overall. They feel sturdy and solid, with the earcups being made from the same material as the PRO 2900, but with a more oval shape instead of the round PRO series shape. My only minor gripe is that the headband has a rubber spine on top, and it causes the leather to bulge and look bumpy in some places. It's a cosmetic thing though.
Overall I'm very pleased with the Signature Pro. If you want more impressions, you should check out the Signature Pro thread:

I'll be posting my thoughts there in more detail.
