I prefer the same as you. Our experience is different. I'll go with mine, you go with yours.Originally Posted by azanon
The difference is quite noticable to me. Our set-ups are most likely quite different as is our perception. There is no universal answer here. We're both correct. For us.Originally Posted by azanon

I agree there is a lot more improvement in the SE than just the bass extension. I'd say there is more overall detail and the SE is a bit more natural sounding too.Originally Posted by MrTomasulo
I have not heard the prior classics but have the 340SE's and the 200's. Taking into consideration that a prior post mentioned the classics and the 200's have the same tweeter, I would venture to guess there is a noticable difference in sound and clairty, as well as smoother highs. I like the 200's laid back but quality sound. I love the 340SE's brighter and clearer/crisper presentation. I can not speak to the bass extension of any as I have nothing to compare to and 340 to 200 would not be fair regardless...
Point is I think the 340SE's are the way to go if you like that crisp, detailed presentation more than the smooth laid back sound.
Absolutely. My girlfriend and I acutally did exactly that, and it's pretty easy to tell. She noticed the differences even more than I did, to tell the truth. The Classics sound much more 'muffled' in comparison to the SEs to us.Originally Posted by azanon
The first week we had the SEs I was watching "Collateral" and a gunshot in the movie literally scared the bejeezus out of my girlfriend who was in the kitchen, as she said she literally thought a gun had gone off in our living room it sounded so real. That type of thing had never happened before.
Well, I got my new SE's and they sound incredible. I think the cost was well worth the sound performance increase. I like them so much I sold my 170 classics (rears) and have 170SE's on order. The biggest thing I've noticed is that my ears dont fatigue like they did with the classics at high volumes. YMMV!
Is the upgrade still available (to go from the classics to the SE)? I know I probably have an e-mail from James or Dave somewhere but I'm at work and can't check my personal e-mail. *sigh* I need to stop getting into hobbies that are out of my price range. lol
Have you read about the newest Sierra line? Might be time for another immediate upgrade!?
indeed, but it's not like i would scrap my 340's either ya' know. :P I guess I could "pull a Curtis" and give my 340's to my parents if I decide to upgrade to the Sierra's.Originally Posted by audibleconnoisseur
*Edit*
Nevermind...sorry parents but i have no money, and apparently there might be a trade-up option available. :P
