    Looking for fun with some refinement. My chain is a Lynx Hilo and a Rebel Amp currently. The amp can be swapped if need be. The DAC is resolving and on the technical side but nice sounding. The only planars I've had are a HE-400 (not love) and a ZMF Classic which I found grainy and plastic-y in the end.

    LCD-X with the new pads perhaps? Or for its price you can grab an he6se plus a speaker amp or a jotunheim 2 to power them with.

    If you can swing them I'd recommend the ZMF Atrium if you want "fun" but not in an unnatural way

    The Atrium make me wince a bit, but I will look into them. Fun but natural is the right spot for me. It's perhaps a bit of bluster about planars - I have been a dynamic guy my whole life. All that vibrating membrane stuff weirds me out :-)

    I just can't get along with most planars. Something about all of them sounds strange to me. Or maybe I'm used to dynamic "grain" and think anything else is weird.
