I am a new member to this forum and I am not yet a ML owner. I recently purchased a set of HiFiMan HE-400 headphones and have fallen in love with the sound signature that these cans have. They are described as very clean, crisp, and open. Some say that they are too bright, but I love the sound. They have ruined me for listening through my speakers. It has been suggested to me that the ML Electrostats may have a similar sound signature since the design is somewhat simililar to the Hifiman manetic planer design. I have not yet auditioned the MLs. I have a Best Buy Magnolia store in the area, but I am not sure what they have set up to demo and have reservations about the quality of their set up. Is anyone familiar with the sound of Hifiman? Do the Martin Logans have a similar sound signature? I appreciate any assistance.
