What planar do you think would compliment the hd650+hd800s?

I am looking for something with that super tight and punchy bass that only planars have for electronic/hiphop

(oh and no ching chong 1000s and no abyss 666s)

as I see it I got a few options:

lcd2 pre fazor
lcd3 pre fazor
he560
he6

any im missing?

ESP900 has lots of midbass, but similar to other stats, not much punch or impact. Also has massive bass rolloff so there is no low bass. A high grade LCD2r2 pre-fazor might be the ticket. HE6 is another possibility, although in stock form, the treble behavior is rather inscribed. You'll need a lot of power for HE6 not to have flabby bass.

I have half a mind to sell my HD800's and get a pair. Too much fuss, too little time and money to get it right makes the 650 very appealing...

Edit: Went and got my 14-15 year old 600's back from my brother and damn... They sound really nice out of the bh crack. Goosebumps... Need to do the spring fix though, only the stock cable works semi reliable with some tape.

If i get the 650 drivers how close will it get to a 650?

I imagine it should sound the same. The drivers are sold already installed in HD650 baffles. The only things remaining from the HD600 that could affect the sound would be the grilles and earpads. Aren't those almost the same between the 600 and 650?

Aha i did not know this, i imagined if there was any difference besides the driver it would come from the baffle/mesh. So this is good news!
Another thing though.. Should i worry about driver matching since they don't come in pairs?

Depends on how much you trust Senn QC  :)p1

It has to be better than Beyer, but that isn't much of a data point. Honestly, if you are willing to sell your HD800 I would think its worth getting an entire HD650 next time it goes on sale, and then selling your old 600 if the 650 is to your liking.

I heard OJ was going to do a driver transplant to see if anything sounds/measures different, but have no idea on timeline.

Will the HD 650's transient response (especially in the bass) be quick enough the tremolo picked down-tuned guitars and double kick drums of old school death and black metal? I am contemplating picking up a set up open cans for various reasons.

Senn's QC is the best in the business. Only the HD 650 and HD 800 have handmatched drivers but the HD 600s and 25s still put Beyer and Audeze to shame.

So i just ordered a cheap 650, all things considered that seemed like the best choice. Would be a waste of those HD600 drivers and i'd have to disappoint my brother as well, he's fond of that 600.
