theory_87 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2006 I love bass, so im716 i tink is not my type... UM2 better! haha um2 off cause better. but to my ear, it bass level is on par or even more than sf5p and it more detail too... the bass is tight and punchy and extension is deep. better treble extension too... (note: i'm saying in bass mode) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im716 requires a higher power to drive(HD mode need more power as compared to Bass mode).. But after you cut off the In-Line volume control, it will need less power to drive as compared to E2c..
