Interesting. With the SR-009/S running off a Blue Hawaii, they fell flat on their faces I played some drum and bass tracks. On the other hand, the SR-X9000 was far more competent than the 009/S in the bass dept (not to mention far better built) but still fell short of the high-end planars of the world. From your impressions, it seems that you were listening to the X9000's.

I was - went back and checked. I also found them meaningfully better than the 009.

But nothing like that planar bass. It’s a class all its own. The X9000 did just enough in the department to make it a compromise for those highs/mids, at least for my bass preferences.
