Hi Franz,
The Vérité has a huge stage, much bigger than the Utopia or anything 6XX, I wouldn’t get too hung up on one review. It does go down to personal taste, but as a lousy, frustrated guitar player, and someone who attends a ton of concerts, classical, jazz, and rock, the intonation and timbre on the Vérité is the best I’ve heard. Though my caveat, is I despise the HD800 (SDR Mod), as being hollow, artificial, and quite unnatural.
I just put a new set off 300b in my WA5, playing Mehta’s Holst “Planets” and the soundstage is way outside of the phones, both in depth and width.
