"enigmatic" <-- what Muppetface said.

I'll look into other measurement types and perhaps overlay stuff to see what's going on. I wouldn't say the treble is weird, just that the overall timbre or cohesiveness is off.

I'll quote Anax: Hehe, you guys are picking up on the weird timbre/tone of the new driver material.  It has a more plastic/unnatural tone than a normally organic Audeze sound.  IMHO.

The harmonic distortion is at the bottom of the graphs.

There are some HD spikes, but they are so damn low no one is going to hear them.

The only caveat of the measurements I can see is the treble...that very narrow/sharp 10kHz peak, with its small ringing ridge, can't do much good for treble coherency I'd have to imagine.

Otherwise these measure pretty!

So I take it from these impressions that the LCDX isn't just an LCD2 "sans veil". Yes? No?

For me at least, that's what I was hoping they would be. I could live with the LCD2 if it was just a bit less dark, but I wouldn't want to trade the lush midrange qualities. I kinda like the lushness, at least with regard how to how the LCD2 presented it.

I recall the LCD2.2 to have some rough and glaring lower treble in the 8-9khz region as well.  Maybe not to this level.  What Audeze should have done was elevate the region 12khz and beyond instead of emphasizing the lower treble even more.

LCD2.2 - yes rough in treble and sometimes sibilant. Not an issue because overall the treble was push down. The 8kHz peak on the the LCD-X is more noticeable and this is where I am having trouble with marginal recordings.

BTW, the amp (among the ones I have around) which works the best with the LCD-X is the Leckerton UHA-6S. Vali = too slow and bassy. Mjolnir = too thin.

Did someone say "plasticky"?!?

*sells K702's and orders the LCD-X*  ahoy

Indeed looks very clean on paper. Interesting point on the Leckerton. Low Z output? Since I have one of those, I might have to take it to a local Audeze dealer to check these out.

Interesting read. Thanks.

Interesting... uha-6s to power the lcd-x. I have a pair of lcd2.2s on loan to me and tried it with the audio gd nfb-10es2. It was good... but not 2.5x the price of the hd600s good. Ill have to try again with the uha-6s.
