[QUOTE="Scubadude, post: 1141047, member: 17459"] If you run a PC-based set-up, you could invest in Jriver (possibly add Sonarworks) wonderful parametric EQ to fill in the lower registers. The Lehmann BCL (without direct comparison) has a slightly "thicker" sound than the Deckard and Matrix (possibly due to higher output impedance), which I believe is an artifact from a time when headphones did not have a ton of bass. I hear the same on the Krell KSA5 Klone, also from a good few decades ago. Modern amps tend to be cleaner (gross generalisation, I know). Good luck finding a BCL in these quarters though ... I know of two, one of which is in my study. [/QUOTE]
