I haven’t heard a bad one one yet, just the S5s are revealing of differences. So some of the decision will come down to the type of music you listen to and personal preference. Me: I like something that is linear, transparent and musical. A hard thing to find.
I’ve liked Transparent XL Gen. 5
Skogrand Beethoven
Kubala-Sosna Emotion
Audience AU24SX
Ensemble Incanto
Discontinued MIT
Some are more transparent, others are more dynamic, few are very musical and linear, couple have good bass, and yet others image like it’s going out of style.
