There’s a couple of peeps on the Pink Fish have had the same experience as you, bought the TT2 but ended up missing the TT1.

I bet the Dave with upscaler sounds sweet though :think:

Audeze and Schiit are building only 67 sets of these LCD-R headphones and Jotunheim-A amplifiers. They are offered on a first come, first served basis and are ready to ship NOW. The retail price is $2,500 for the set. The headphones will not be sold separately, so don’t even ask.

I need some good headphones, but maybe not that good.

What you getting Kern?

I think I’m going to end up buying B&W 800/802 at some point, even more cones for the kids to poke

Will be interested in how the new ones sound, I have a friend who almost pulled the trigger on a pair of Tannoys recently but lost his nerve due to the size, he’s currently running a pair of floor standing PMC’s which sound weak and thin.

He needs some girth in his life, will keep an eye out for your old ones.

PMC don’t grow any balls until you get to Fact 12 and the big monitors unfortunately. The Twenty5 series are so overpriced.

Two more Hi-Fi grails and I’m done (probably).

What a ****. It’s one of the easiest things to do.

I see it’s a different driver surround and plaque in different place too and here was me thinking you had bought exactly the same speaker.

I don't know why, but visually your old speakers are more appealing to me
