[QUOTE="KenMasters, post: 1114897, member: 517"] Is it not perhaps intrinsic differences between headphones and speakers that's the issue here? You mention air and better sense of being there with the speakers. This could be down to the fact that headphones sit on your ears, whereas speakers have the space to image in a more convincing fashion. Your second issue, punch, is also not something that can necessarily be remedied by headphones with better bass extension / intensity. The energy required to create those bass notes at volume is far greater with speakers, even with the Metas there's a tactile energy brought to the room headphones can't provide. [/QUOTE]
