A bit more treble energy and dynamic with the Theta. Been primarily using modded HD800s so a little too much for relaxed listening. But with my speakers (DIY Carmody S2000) incredible synergy. Really woke them up.
Haha, been pondering a vintage R2R to replace MMB in my main spkr/HP setup so very interested in your findings. What amp(s)? Does your MMB have the new firmware? How would you describe the character of the Carmodys? Etc...
For my speakers, I am using an Adcom 5200 (maybe a touch warm), and for HP an ECP L2 (a little warm as well). The S2000s are a more forward and detailed Overnight Sensation if you are familiar. MMB is a v2. MMB might be a touch more detailed or clearer through the midrange. I really haven't developed a good ear or vocabulary to describe things well. I just notice macro differences.
