    What gets 80% of the way to that bass for 20% of the cost? Seeking recommendations. Not wanting bloated overdone bass, but physical powerful bass.

    HE6SE (Adorama deal) + Vidar used+ OG Saga will bring you in under the going rate for used HE6 alone. I know it doesn’t really answer your question. My guess would be used LCD2C?

    Really appreciate that option @Gaspasser. I'm seeing $1,800 for HE6SE at Adorama. Maybe that's not the one with good pricing?

    Anyway, this got me thinking more specifically. $400 limit for the headphones.

    I'll go as high as Asgard 3 on the amp, or use my JLH69 if a few more watts are needed.

    I'm a hardass about this because to me anything more than $400 for a headphone component is a waste compared to the ROI of the same money towards speaker gear. :)

    I've got a modded HD650 and Magni 3, so I know what awesome midrange, wooly bass is like. I'd like tot experience awesome hard-hitting tactile bass, but on a budget. (also had the THX00, which was great, but didn't have the muscle of the HE6 in the bass)
