The joy of listening to such cheerful and exciting music as Gianluigi Trovesi's Dedalo does not diminish in the slightest when switching from the LCD-X to the EL-8 closed back. Although you have to increase the volume a bit on the Phonitor 2 to get the same level with the EL-8 as with the LCD-X. But, generally speaking, when I had to resort to the Phonitor's volume potentiometer it was to reduce the level. It provides you with everything you could ever want at ear-friendly levels. In other words, you can completely forget about it and immerse yourself in the music. But let me go back briefly to the SPL and Audeze: The EL-8 is probably a bit more demanding when it comes to the electronics driving it. But with the Phonitor 2 the differences with the LCD-X are even smaller.
