Thanks. I have heard that the LCD-2 don’t “boogie” well.
I have quite an eclectic taste and want something really dynamic with a bit of slam to compliment the HD540 Ref II and HD650.

Like Jon I use LCD-2s. I also have a pair of MrSpeakers Aeon Flow Open 'phones. These are seriously good for the price too.


The Aeon flow are a little bit more than I want to spend right now, but they do look interesting.

If you can borrow or get a demo of the LCD2's they do sound very good and make my foot tap. They are full bodied sounding rather than bright and these things are all a matter of personal preference.

The Aeon Flows spend most their time hooked up to my Novo, and sound splendid. The LCD-2s are with the ULDE.

Thanks. I have read comments that they are power hungry, and remember Ash running his Planars from a set of Proprius amps, hence the concern. I don’t want to replace my Solo UL if I can help it.

Hi Kevin,
The Sennheiser HD800S (black version) have excellent slam & dynamics with the Solo UL -
which drives them well. The 'S' version is quite a bit better than the silver '800.
If they are within budget new, used or ex-demo it would be worth giving them a try.
