Ok thanks

Managed to have a listen to 1770 and didn't like them. They are more detailed than H6 (which I liked) but couldn't stend recessed mids, the bass was too much and it sounded bloated. The bass issue could be due to my DP-X1 not having enough juice to power these but I'm in the market for portable...

Do you think it could be addressed with eq?

Can't say anything about H7, I didn't hear them.

Hi Dale, Would be curious to hear your opinion on 1770 mids compared to H6. I saw some reports claiming 1770 has slightly recessed mids. Do you share this opinion? Midrange is one of the things I love about H6. Also, how do you think AKG K545 compare to these two (I have no way of audition...

I demoed all three and preferred b&o H6 to all these headphones. My only issue with H6 is I find ear pads too small for me but that aside they are almost perfect. It all comes down to personal preference, for me, in summary; shure way too much bass, momentum slightly boomy, Oppo not...

No, I am after closed back for train / office use. I think I'll try MrSpeakers alpha prime next.

Thank you. This doesn't make my choice any easier. I was tempted to just buy 1770 without demo but don't really want to take the risk. Unfortunatelly I can't wear H6 for more than 20 minutes, my ears start hearting. Wish I could buy bigger ear pads for them.

How do 1770's compare to B&O H6 in your opinion? The reason why I'm asking is because I've got H6 and love the sound but they aren't comfortable for me, the pads are too small. Unfortunately I cannot demo 1770 where I live. Thanks in advance.

Has anyone heard the new Krell's integrated, Vanguard. The specs look impressive, an optional ethernet streamer can be fitted, looks interesting.

That makes me wonder however, should I try something less expensive and see if that sounds good to me. After all, those amps are about three times of what I paid for my speakers. I did start with high end on purpose though, I wanted to be sure I can hear difference between my current amp and...

Just had a read of that thread, interesting. I was having similar thoughts after listening to two similarly priced amplifiers from different manufactures and not being able to hear any difference. BTW this guy Alan is hilarious, but probably not very popular amongst sales / marketing people

I've listened to Accuphase e460 and Pass int-150 with D18's. To be honest I couldn't tell one from another. This was at the volume I am comfortable with, although the dealer put the volume too high for my liking initially and was trying to get me listen to his own recordings, but I insisted on...

ok thanks

Thanks. Which Naim was it? Did you find bass to be overbearing with D18 and some other amp? It is just right for my liking and my room.
