when you guys say laid back midrange... what does that mean? i don't know if you know what the sennheiser hd580s are, but i hated them, and everyone describes them as laid back. they couldn't do anything right. playing a distorted guitar through them was horrible. just horrible they couldn't rock, they had not visceral bass slam at all... but yeah, so what do you mean by laid back? are they quick enough to really rock out? but be really smooth enough to relax you? would any users of them say that they involve you with the music? like really draw you in? that was my biggest concern with the senns, i just felt completely disconnected with the music. honestly im sure im in for a big shock when i get these because i will be so happy with them but ive never really used good speakers before... except a $80k system in a little hi-fi store... i don't think these will exactly hold up so no one has opinions on paradigms or energies in the same range?
