I'm too much of a bass head to blindly buy that headphone without hearing it first. Even at a good price. I don't want boosted bass. But I do listen down to the lower frequencies. Even with classical. Orchestra swells need to swell up from the depths. And pipe organ.
@Hammy my preference is to have everything above the subbase range immaculate ... My daily drivers include HD800, L500, K1000, HD540. None of these are bass monsters but I will happily sacrifice some or all of the bottom octave for what they do right further up. Even my 2 channel setup (AE1's) reflect this. Somehow I think the Raal is right up my alley.
I'm after natural acoustic bass, but with extension down to the depths. If the natural acoustic bass works for me then the Daft Punk bass will also work. I just need to hear the SR1a to find out if it will do that to my satisfaction. I'm super happy with Audeze bass. It's hard to go with less extension than that after hearing it. Once this Covid thing is over I'll get to hear the SR1a at a meet and make a decision.
