Thanks for mentioning these cans, I can't see any reason why I shouldn't buy a pair given that they come in at around $360 in various places I've found with Google, would be good to have a nice sounding spare pair as seconds to the B P7'S we've been discussing over the last few days. On

Hi! One of my favourite audio suppliers in Australia has quite a variety of these for sale as you'll see in the link below, thought I'd share with the list to give some idea of what's available in the Electro Static world. Stax and Coss are mentioned, the cheapest Stax being beliw $800.

Epic nice and crisp highs means Godzilla 1998 would sound very clear at the wistling part of the roar. Also any other crisp stuff. The smak of a whip for instance. Like in the youtube vid of caning in Malazia. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On

Hi. I'm no electronic engineer so the best way I can describe Electrostatic speakers (or headphones ) is to compare them with regular speakers we are all familiar with. Your regular speakers use an electro magnet to cause the Speaker cone to vibrate causing the cone to move the air in front of
