That difference in my opinion is huge, either of the Golds are just a completely different headphone. Far superior to the 540 reference or reference 2. Imaging is complete, base is (for my tastes) is pretty much perfect, everything is. If I would not have the 600ohm version and would never have heard it either, only to have the 300ohm version. I would in no way driven to buy or get anything else more. In my opinion both golds have the exact same performance as hd800, every bit of detail is there. The base is less, and the soundstage is smaller while on the plus side they sound alive an the hd 800 do not.No, I meant the regular HD 540 Ref II vs HD 540 Gold 300 ohm
All this is my personal opinion and experience, YMMW
