Xinoxide,
I a/b-ed the 2500 and 750 with Bryn Terfel last night. Again, the mids on the 750 are definitely more developed and detailed than the 2500. But--and I'm not sure whether this is a psycho-acoustic reaction to the powers of suggestion--Terfel's voice did sound more tenorish with the 750.
That said, I'm still developing a decided preference for the 750: they're less harsh on certain recordings, I think, definitely more punchy and dynamic, and have truer harmonics and timbres than the 2500. In short, I think the 750 are less analytical, but more musical, than the 2500.
I was thinking/hoping, too, that there might be a way to mod the 750 to enrich the lower mids. I'll try stopping up various holes and see what happens.
Will take the 2500 through their paces with the 2200 today. In the order of openness of sound it goes, from most to least open-sounding: HFI 2200, Proline 750, 2500.
