Drop + DCA Aeon X Open and Closed - Official Thread

Closed: Open: For anyone wondering about the Drop + DCA Aeon X, I figured I’d post the results here: Closed: [DCA Aeon X Closed V2] Open: [DCA Aeon Open X] Notes: These are generally pleasant tunings for both - but the Closed is better in my opinion.

With this price category becoming much more popular in the last year or so it begs the question of who’s king?with the aeons, lcd-2c, campfires, and even some Sennheiser and beyerdynamics the price gap from 500-1000 is filling up quickly. My money is on either the m1060c (cheaper but still a contender) or the Mr Speakers aeon but I want to hear what you guys think.
