![]() ![]() ![]() I am now as much satisfied with the volume turned down to the point where I don't need to turn it down further to have at least a short conversation if that is any indication. However, when I listen to music loud for more than just a half hour or so I find I don't enjoy it, and the next few days my ears ring. I can hear up to 11-12khz before dropping off. I used to listen to music quite loud for many years, and between that and all the occupational noise I am quite lucky to still hear reasonably well for someone nearing 63. Please note that I live way out here among the outer solar system relatively speaking so I can't just order them without paying $200 to get them here and presumably another 200 to send them back if I don't like. ![]() Has anyone fully compared any of these models? I don't listen loud much anymore, trying to save my hearing in my rapidly advancing years. I have a 170 wpc amp that is sized to drive any of these fine I think, especially at the relatively low levels of 75-85 db I tend to listen at.īottom line I guess what I am wanting is speakers that can have a better image and better bass than what I have now. I know the 290 and the 590 both have 8" drivers, but the 590's seem to be more robust but how much better they sound is a question I'd like to know as the costs are considerably more. I actually am more drawn to the basic look of the 280 and 290 appearance wise, and certainly cost too. So my questions are more comparison related. But I think I might be looking for more at this point so long as my budget isn't seriously harmed in the process.īeen reading pretty glowing reports on the Studio series in general and while they are not on sale anymore, they might be at some point and I want to be ready to move on a set of them when/if they do go back on sale. It is not that the 200's don't image some, I have worked with them for placement and such and they do better than they used to. It is just that I am mesmerized by the openness, "air" around the instruments and I like the much flatter bass too with the Senn's. Don't get me wrong, I love my old L200's and don't plan on tossing them on the campfire, ever. It all started a couple days ago after getting new Sennheiser headphones in the mail that sound so damn good that I can't keep them off my head! Even my wife is getting annoyed at me zoned out all the time. I have been bitten by an itch it seems, in this case a 40 year itch. ![]()
