Headphoneus Supremus
Thank you- I wish I could have both in front of me to A/B with my set up. I do recall liking the soundstage quite a bit on my old HD800, but those did not have the fuller body and warmth that my current Auteur had, so if I were after HD800-like soundstage (I know in reality nothing really does that, but I'm hoping for that ballpark) would the Verite fit this bill? I'm also concluding that my Auteur won't be redundant of the Verite, as I believe they are similar DNA, but different animals overall?
Verite will noticeably project wider and deeper soundstage versus Auteur. From what i tried (several VOs with different wood), go with dense wood will help expand the soundstage. Example: African Blackwood.
