There's a dip in the upper midrange / lower treble. I'm wondering if this accounts for the "veil". I've heard this headphone many times and did note this area is recessed, but I would hardly call this headphone veiled. If the HD650 is veiled, then the LCD2/3 is AM radio.

Recessed upper midrange FTW!!!! 

I bought these for the 3rd time after seeing your CSD on the other site and I like them, they're not offensive but they still sound dull to me.  I don't think I have enough jiggawatts for them.  Either that or I've gotten use to orthospeed

Do you hear a dip in the upper midrange to that extent?  I don't...

I heard a dip more in the lower treble with these cans. Unlike peaks, dips are very very hard to hear.

An interesting experience would be to play with either a parametric EQ or a FIR based EQ until the measured frequency response is near flat, and then report how it sounds, alternatively, one could play around with EQ until it sounds flat an neutral and then measure the FR (that's more or less what LFF did with the Paradox if I'm not wrong).

I think the HD 650, the HD 800 or the LCD-3 should be quiet appropriate for these endeavors since their FR is quite regular to begin with.

I'm interested in how the HD600 will compare to these. Are there any measurements or any proof that there is such a thing as the old and new HD650's? Mine are very old with the black drivers/backs.

Random statement here: I have heard an old black driver hd650 with much less upper mids to lower treble vs a silver driver one before but now I have gotten a hold of a silver driver version that sounds more like the old black driver one WTF is up with the hd650 quality control?
