Yet the distortion on the hd650 is a bit lower than the HD800. Also its a moot point because with the exact same frequency response they do not sound the same. Now throw the sundara in there with the exact FR, it will not sound like either of them. The unique flavor is derived from the over all construction and drivers despite having the same FR.

Ok, but measurements show the actual distortion and HD650 produces a bit less and they can both handle 10db bass boost just fine. Distortion in the lower frequencies is harder to hear and actually ends up sounding like more bass and its still only at 5% with a 10db boost. Also consider the fact a subwoofer that everyone loves to hear produces something like over 20%. What you're talking about is not really an issue.
