SR-X Mk1 then as I was more thinking in terms of driver/housing design. That's pretty much my ideal headphone, improved SR-Omega drivers in a SR-007 style chassis.

I'm going to post this news in the portable thread over at the other place.

^lol

Yes, it does seem like a cross between the SR-Omega and SR-007, but I hope the arc assembly isn't negated by the way its coupled to the drivers. If they stick with that design, at least it will be more user friendly in fit. Either way its quite interesting, since the SR-007 was released in 1998,(if im not mistaken) so its been a little bit since the last TOTL model. Hurray for new circular Stax headphones!

Hooray for new Stax headphones! Now I'm waiting on impressions for both the SR-507 and this new Omega. And also the new portable system to come out (and impressions on that). A good time to be Stax lovin'.

Curious about the new flagship Stax. Glad that I didn't rush out and buy an O2 mkii after getting the KGSS.

the first person that calls these the O3 will die a slow painful death. Just have to put the hit out and that will be that.

If the cups are made with carbon, we can call it the CO2.....

I was talking about the style. Never heard a SR-X.

Better not visit h-f then

Guess I better not make any big purchases, will wait and see what these sound like first

I think this adequately represents my thoughts on this matter.

Same thoughts as Colin. Awaiting Spritzer's first impressions. Stax sure is getting busy! Especially after losing dealers and cutting communications all the while.

the long awaited ODCCC?

Looks like they will be unveiled on the 30th.

That looks seriously awesome. Me want! If it's under $2K I'll probably buy one.

Counting down.

BTW, any issues with replacing old 4070 pads with new 404s or Lambdas pads?

The Omega tit anus it is then.

ha!

ok, also O3 and 03 both count the same. I hope I can recruit a certain elephant to help

My 507 has shipped so stay tuned for impressions and internal pics.

As for the new model (SR-707?) I will get one ASAP but I sure hope we don't have another Mk2/A on our hands. Design issues affecting the first units shipped and then fixed silently later on. This was true of the SR-Omega and 4070 as well...

They are all the same size so no problem at all. The new leather pads would be lovely on the 4070...

New Omega looks nice. But back to swivels on the cups? Wheres that no compromise fitted to each person headband eh?

These will not be inexpensive will they?

They'll probably be cheaper than buying SR-Omegas.

"New leather pads"?

"New leather pads"?

I think he's talking about the ones they introduced with 404LE (and continued with 507).

spritzer: I bags first listen of your pair. I promise I wont lick drool on them.

Yep, I'm using the 404LE real leather earpads on the 4070, they fit perfectly.

There's no model called Omega 2, that's just something made up, it's the SR-007 and SR-007Mk2 dammit.

This is new "SR-008" is great news, I haven't bought a headphone for over a year.
