Stereophile has been leading the way on speaker-based systems for years, with turntables costing $250k USD, amps costing $200k, speakers costing $400k, etc. Lots of investors have been perching on their eagle/vulture nests waiting to jack up the headphone market, and until this, the top prices were under $10k for a Stax SR009 system, $5500 for the Abyss, $4000 for the new HE1000 or LCD4, etc. So now we're in the big time, and those of us with mere $1000 headphones will hence be known as children, or plantation serfs. Really.

Have any of you guys ever tried one out? Just curious (I haven't by the way!). The only electrostatics I ever sampled were a Stax basic system about 10 years back and whilst the clarity was great they just didn't have enough low end ooooomph for my type of music (i.e, non classical!)

Have any of you guys ever tried one out? Just curious (I haven't by the way!). The only electrostatics I ever sampled were a Stax basic system about 10 years back and whilst the clarity was great they just didn't have enough low end ooooomph for my type of music (i.e, non classical!) If they're really "flat/neutral/natural/hi-fi", I wouldn't expect much oomph. But I want one, even if I don't use it more than one hour per month. I can't delay the new Porsche, since I never had a Porsche. I've had a VW and Honda though. I can't delay my move into the nearby island with the famous country club golf resort, since I don't play golf and don't care to buy a boat. And anyway my rent for a 500 square ft. flat is already too high. Ah, what to do, what to do. Get 12 credit cards and combine them? Hmmm.... BTW, I had the Koss ESP9, then Stax SRX MK3, and Senn HD800. The latter 2 were too bright.
