Heard both at RMAF with O2 Mk1. They are both very powerful with strong bass impact, the BHSE maybe has a deeper reach into the very low bass registers, the BHSE had a drier and maybe slightly recessed mids vs the WES with fuller more liquid and rich mids, but with a little more spaciousness and instrument separation in the BHSE as well, and the BHSE has a little brighter more sparkly treble.
I haven't spent much time with the BHSE and depending on the program material my opinion could change. I would be happy with either one, but I did like the WES mids just a little more than BHSE, while I liked the treble a little more on the BHSE.

I can't imagine someone receiving a BHSE and not liking it. Just in case there is such a rare animal existing in the world, let me preemptively congratulate you on your exceedingly refined listening tastes, you are definitely special. For the 8N rest of the people, I'm pretty sure you will be very happy with the BHSE, as I am. This same thing could probably be said of the Woo WES. Where are the WES owners? Yes, I admit I'm a BHSE owner visiting a Woo WES thread. If the BHSE is so great already, why am I here? A good question. We need someone to do a BHSE vs. WES comparison! |
