i bought 449s and 201s at about the same time a few years ago, and i put the 449s on the shelf because the bass response was way too high. the 201s sounded way better - like, it wasn't even close.

so, i'm looking at a 559 and i'm concluding i'm going to have the same problem as the 449s.

i still have the 440-IIs and will use them for mixing. but, i want a flat pair for walking, too.
