You are still being an apologist for a glaring omission. This is why the old-fashioned audio business is dead. Sorry, nearly dead.
So at 'affordable' levels, you either get uncontrolled bass, or no bass. At stupid money levels, you might be able to get good, deep bass, but once again need to make excuses about high cost, size, weight, ugliness and outright silliness of the system.
A pair of Sony MDR-V6 headphones can play music from something portable with no need for apologists or compromises.
You want 'out there' sound? Try a Soundmatters foxL. It's staggeringly good. It even has bass that doesn't boom but goes low. Smoke and mirrors? Perhaps, but I can put up with smoke and mirrors if it's the size of a Mars bar, and sounds just as good with dub is it does with Debussy.
Buy both. In fact, you could buy both five times over, and an iPad to play it from, and still not have spent as much as you would on a single pair of Harbeth P3ESRs.
Is it really any wonder why people gave up on traditional loudspeaker-based systems when even the non-audiophile audiophiles need to use weasel-word language to justify their expensive, boring monkey coffins?
