Not an LCD owner but prior to getting my T50RP 50th Anni (which now does most of the heavy lifting for any bassier music) whenever I wanted to listen to my K702 over my other cans but wanted to enjoy some nice bass I would just stick a stupid +12-15dB bass shelf on there similar to yours and call it a day. It surprisingly took it like a champ.
I haven’t yet tried doing the same on the planar goodness that is the T50RP 50th Anni, but I may do later today when I have a moment to listen, just for the hell of seeing what these drivers can actually handle.
I reckon if you’re a fan of stinky bass on ‘big’ tracks, planars are pretty great when it comes to EQ’ing them to have dumb bass shelves, because for me at least, there’s no discernible distortion, and that seems to be common among high-end headphones and I imagine those T50’s could handle similarly.
