Hey man, thanks for the reply, I did end up trying both and my impressions align with yours. It took multiple visits and speaking to the manager for them to let me try the 24s, because they only had 1 in stock and they didn't want to open it for demo, but in the end they agreed that anyone spending that much money on a headphone must try it first. At the start I tried the X, the XC the 4z and the 5. Out of those I liked the X and the 5s, but the 5s were even more expensive. When I was finally going to try the 24 I already made up my mind to get the X due to the price, but it would be my only chance to audition the 24s. When I tried both side by side the 24s blew the X out of the water, especially in soundstage, the X sounded like a closed-back in comparison. So I ended up buying the 24.
Btw is that 24 that amir measured yours? If so would you be willing to send me the frequency response graph provided from Audeze? I tried Oratory's and Crinacle's EQ profiles but both sounded wrong. Amir's sounded the best but still not quite there, so I wanted to compare the graph audeze send me to yours and make the appropriate adjustments.
Thanks anyways.
