That's basically it... everything in the 500 series is based on the same op-amp so the sound isn't gonna vary really...

I personally like the 200 series, they sound a bit clearer and less "foggy" to me...

The 550a has more frequencies than the 550. Watch out for the 550a-1 though. It's not discrete.

Hmmmm. I see. It sure wasn't very "discrete" on the snare drum today..more like BLLLLAAAAAANG !
