Take a spin around the testing stats of say 5 random brands of closed dynamics and 5 random planar opens- lets keep it to over $500 per. Notice any trends? Then 5 open dynamics and 5 closed planars. A trend should be evident.Getting awfully defensive there. Oh so you've heard the d7200s then?
You asked me which other planars I've heard and I answered.
Nah its not an issue vs open and closed, issue of how punchy and hard the music hits, all the planars I've heard are weaker vs dynamic in this aspect. Agree to disagree.
What's the mod(s)?Have you heard my modded focal clear og?
Just surprised when I run into this opinion, and its usually tied to closed back cans with pumped up bass. It gets really out there when someone throws another 10 db in from 100 Hz down - which isn't your thing.If I wanted neutralish tuning, I guess I'd go with the he6se, but I find that to be boring. Fact of the matter is, the bass doesn't hit anywhere near as hard as the dynamics I've heard, thats all I'm saying. No need to get defensive about it.
Make sure the HE-6 SE is getting at least 4 wpc @ 50 ohms, or its not really valid. A +3.5 db bass slope starting at 48 Hz with a Q of .9 on a parametric EQ should make them flat. Try something with drums at 7/4 and 11/8 (Bruford/Collins/Dennard), and a bass playing in and out of unison quickly. Your 7200's will not be as clean or quick, and under 50 Hz will not have comparable impact. Mid bass and upper bass the 7200 will likely play louder - which I assume you will assign a superior grade.I'll be bringing my modded d7200s to canjam, I really hope the he6se is there so I can compare .
