Nice write up and good comparisons, thanks! How about the slightly 'shadowed' and recessed Audeze upper-mid/treble region? Even though I like Audeze sound and I love their bass, I have experienced this on all LCD models including the 4. While the competition can't touch Audeze bass, a lot of them offer nicer and airier upper frequencies. Is the LCD24 any different in this regard?
