this is my first post here, btw, so I'll be less brief than the others
I used to be obsessed with headphones. Yet, nowadays, not so much.
HEADPHONES 30% - several cans both wired and wireless but I mostly use the senn HD650 and sony mdr-7520 (w/ equalizer, stereo crossfeed & room simulator enabled whenever possible)
NEARFIELD 30% - kh120 (w/ ports blocked, 0.7m dist.) + sealed rythmik f12 xo 80Hz LR 48dB/oct
MIDFIELD 20% - sceptre s8 (w/ ports blocked, 2m dist.) + sealed rythmik f12 xo 70Hz LR 48dB/oct
OTHER 20% - smartphone/tablets/amazon echo devices/fostex 6301 speakers (garage speakers -- need them sealed as well as saw dust/dirt/debris accumulates sometimes--oh, and the metal grill is necessary as I keep a saw and many other sharp objects near the speaker driver!).
I have a couple other speaker sets for surrounds (yes, ports blocked as well) and in our family room, but seldom go there for extended periods to listen.
I'm always thinking about getting more, and more, and more speakers. Problem mostly is a lack of space... Currently I'm contemplating on getting a couple of fluid audio fx50 (yet to be released) as surrounds for the sceptres -- I don't exactly have any room even for a sceptre s6 in my space anymore and so the front port is absolutely necessary (obviously, haven't yet tested them with ports blocked or not) as they are to be mounted on the walls/ceiling (good thing these speakers have mounting points in the back as well. Also, I'm thinking of the iLoud monitors... maybe for portable use...
At this point in my life, ideally, listening to speakers is my main preference.
*why don't I use the tone controls on the back of the monitors to lower bass instead of blocking ports? Well, I just prefer using my DSP presets (easy and fast to enable and disable) and have never been fully satisfied with the sound coming out even with those turned on. Does it really improve the sound? subjectively, my asnwer is yes -- probably (?) -- but on a blind test, I likely wouldn't be able to tell which ultimately is "better" -- but definitely, it is very noticeable that the response rolls off much earlier. Also there are audible resonances at certain frequencies that I hear coming mostly from the room surfaces around me, and I'd rather avoid exciting those especially while listening at my max volume settings with EDM, heavy hip hop music, movies etc.
