Man of Honour
I suppose a lot matters on what you listen too? I listen to a lot of trance / prog and house, so the 'digital' sound suits the S70's, bass is well controlled too and synths etc sound good. I do listen to a lot of other stuff too, like You me at 6, a lot of 'lounge', and a lot of '90's music, and i haven't thought 'this sounds terrible on these speakers' yet lol. Maybe my ears are poor, or i'm just not that fussy lol.
Oh same here, from Electronic to Blues to Hip-Hop My hearing is quite sensitive really and always been a huge fan of that natural feeling when listening to them, especially acoustic stuff - On the CA the strumming of guitar strings felt -to my ears- artificial whereas the same track on the old and new speakers or via headphones are considerably different.
The Richer Sounds staff were more than helpful though, multiple speakers, multiple demos and hours in the demo room later I found speakers that were what I was looking for, a little over budget but I don't plan on changing them at all and they will forever be a part of my music playback setup in good old stereo
Everyone has different preferences though, no two ears are the same
