Slipknot never sounded better. Edited May 7, 2008 by sghound Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

imp0ssibled 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2008 btw i tried the d1001 at farle recently, and i thought it sound good already too, had good bass and wasnt bass-light like some others had commented, but couldnt try the d2000 as the demo-set was sent for repairs, i cant imagine of d1001 already sounds good, how the d2000 is gonna sound like....

sghound 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2008 it is said to sound a closed version of the senn hd650 too? yeah just maybe. but denon's bass detail will trump the senn's while a recabled senn should take the mids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
