500+ Head-Fier
do you think the cth brings the mids closer to the hd650?
No, farther away if anything. More open and clear, whereas the HD650 is thick and smooth. That thick and smooth tonality is unique to the 650, at least at this price range. That said, I think the mids are the Classics main selling point and are, in my experience, unmatched at this price. Warm and also clear/clean at the same time. Just not 650-like 'warmth'.
