Seconded. Really enjoyed your report. Thanks!
PS: If you like the Monitor Audio sound, you should definitely try to listen to a pair of their GS-60s as they would likely be right up your street. Or you could haunt Audiogon until a pair of Dunlavys show up somewhere near you. Pretty much the holy grail for those who primarily value speed and impact. They sell quite cheaply, mainly because they are all but impossible to ship at between 200 and 500 lbs a piece.
L.L.Bean is still pretty much what Abercrombie used to be anyway, so no great loss in the cosmic scheme of things. Or Orvis if you have money, I guess.
I talked to Justin about it when I ordered my GS-1. The gist of it was that he did build some new modules to test out, but in the end didn't believe they offered enough of a performance upgrade over the original design to justify the extra cost. So I think that's all she wrote.
Love it on the desktop, but the iPhone app sucks for reasons largely beyond their control (sandboxing rules etc.) Their first implementation -- letting you use bookmarklets in Safari -- worked far better and I think they've recently added that functionality back into the desktop version after getting a flood of complaints from whinging ingrates like me.
Very interesting. I've never even considered trying to EQ headphones, as I've always thought of it as a way to deal room modes rather than alter driver responses. Could you post a picture of the setup in action, ie. phones on the "ear" showing mic position?
