The thing I love about my XC is that, since the distortion is so low at 115 DB, you can boost the sub bass sky high and it will shake your soul with zero distortion. They are heavy but extremely capable for sure

Same with my LCD-2C's. They handle low end EQ like no other.

Starting to sense that Audeze is the king of low-end.

In your opinion is there any major difference tonaly compared to the X? Take it bass is stronger?

Oh I meant the X line in general, I just specified XC because that’s the one I own, but they’re both beasts in the bass. The XC has slightly more because of the cup housing reinforcing the bass a little but you can get the same effect on the X with EQ. The drivers on both are basically distortionless thanks to the massive double sided magnet array, truly a workhorse 💯 Plus, yours has better soundstage but my room is noisy sadly

XC distort because planars are meant for bidirectional movement and the diaphragm warps under low pressure. I’d stay away from them. (Audeze is aware).

Amir created an EQ profile that I really enjoy. The bass out of the box is flat and there’s a huge dip at 3500hz just make sure to dial back your preamp or set head room.

What sort of EQ have you tried for the sub-bass? For example like +10 db under 50 Hz? +20?!

I recently got X’s and seriously love juicy low ends and curious how high I can put the EQ.
