Item:kendog: Thanks, that’s great info.
I am a bass head as well. In my home theatre there are four subs, two SVS Ultras in opposite corners to even the response and two near field behind the main chairs for tactile response. It sounds and feels amazing.
As there are no Audeze dealers in NZ now, I tried my HD6xx against the HifiMan HE560 and Edition X V2 yesterday. I really liked the X, but it’s $1,800 and it didn’t seem that much better than my HD. Bigger sound stage and voice placement, plus easier to drive. But I’m using a Woo tube amp, so I don’t need easy to drive.
I’m now thinking about trying a sub or butt kicker with my headphones. I’ve played a bit of PSVR with headphones and small sub running and that works well.
AVWorld, Computet Lounge and several others still deal in Audeze.
Can vouch for the former - have bought all my recent hifi gear through them.
Thanks, might try contacting AVWorld again, they have the LCD-3 on sale but I didn’t get a reply to a question about it a week ago.
Interestingly, I asked Sound Expression about their Audeze headphones, they said they don’t stock them anymore since the supplier in Australia changed. When you go to the Audeze website, it says there is no NZ or Australia retailer (they are looking for one). Doesn’t inspire confidence spending big dollars on a brand that has some historical quality issues and I haven’t had a chance to try first to see if I actually like them.
