I agree. I like 6XX, but to me it needs EQ. It sounds too dead stock because of the dampening. Also not the best imaging/soundstage. HE560 V4 does that much better.
Multi-BA setups are nice, but I think the ER4 critcism is kind of justified tbh. I think they are super interesting and worth having. But they are not pleasant.
the 6XX on Tubes (specifically OTL) is definitely endgame in my experience.
IMO 6x0’s are very amp dependent. Also thought they were somewhat “meh” for a while until I started going through more and more source gear and finding some great pairings.

Been an owner for 3 years now and would have to agree. And then the 6XX on Tubes (specifically OTL) is definitely endgame in my experience.
