![]() Can't compare the Auteur as I haven't heard that one yet, but from what I''ve read it seems the Aeolus is warmer than the Auteur, so maybe more of an analog to the HD650? The Aeolus is truly a chameleon and can change quite a bit with pad rolling, so there are many different variables you can experiment with between the headphones and tubes with the BHC to find a winning combo for your personal tastes. This is pretty much the perfect combo for me with tube rolling to keep things interesting and varied. Currently using the Bendix 6080WB, Tung Sol 6J5G (x2 with adapter), Bifrost 2, and ZMF Aeolus with with perf. As I'm sure you're already familiar, tube rolling with the BHC can make a pretty big difference. I went from the 58x and JDS Labs Atom to the Aeolus w/ BHC and there was a fairly dramatic improvement in soundstage (both width and 3d/depth), instrument separation/layering, and bass quality+quantity. I think it would be a pretty good upgrade to the HD650. The Aeolus has excellent "oomph" for an open back, especially with the stock (lambskin) pads and an OTL amp.
