A BIG thanks to Sivga Audio for providing the Luan for review, much appreciated. Is the Luan a Sennheiser HD600 with bass, treble and stage width? How does the Luan compare to the venerable HD600? I am not a professional sound engineer, producer, musician, or vocalist, etc. I have not done any scientific research, measurements, or in-depth testing of any kind; just my own listening, comparing and internet reading/research. I have limited, real-life experience with recording, mixing and mastering gear. I have been involved since my teenage years with various churches as an amateur sound booth technician. Please take these thoughts, opinions and reasonings as just that, my honest audiophile thoughts, opinions and reasonings.
