New Head-Fier
Hi everyone,
i am in a kind of analysis paralyses in deciding between those two for weeks now.
i cant demo them so the only way is to get some insight from people who have heard both. i would really appreciate it!
i have been student till recently and i have to save up for a very long time to buy one, so i really want to make it count.
what i am looking for in headphones is ,,immersion''. the feeling of really ,,being there''. so i am looking for a expansive yet convincing soundstage with excellent layering but also precise imaging withing that soundstage. how would you describe the calderas ,,immersiveness'' factor in that sense compared to the atrium?
i heard the atrium really has a almost holographic quality, (especially with otl tube amps) which really draws you in and which the caldera cant quite reach, do you find that true?
is there any way to improve the soundstage on the caldera via pads and/or amps?
i also heard the imaging on the caldera within that stage is more precise is that true aswell to your ears?
would you say the caldera is a lot more detailed then the atrium? would i hear a noticable difference in soundeffects of movies?
the second most important charackteristic for me is the bass. i watch a lot of movies so i would really appreciate some ,,subwoofer'esque'' low end rumble and impact. if i eq the low end FR on both to the same target, how would the bass differ?
does the atrium have more impact and the caldera more subbass rumble?
i am sorry for asking so many questions, i would really appreciate your time to answer any of those!
thank you and best regards
