Hi - I have had Stax headphones for at least 20 years, in this time I have had New SR3s, SRX, Lambda Pros and Signatures. Powering these have been SRDx, SRM1 Mk2 & SRM-T1s. I have kept the latter two of headphones / Drivers the others going to friends. If I ever want to really listen to the music it is to these headphones I always return to - I have never heard a pair of Stax being bright, they are always just a beautiful sound. I also have Sennheiser HD 650s / 280s Beyer DT880s and some Jecklin Floats (I do seem to collect a lot of these things) - why? - I use them in different systems - I cannot be bothered to move the Stax around (too lazy?). Out of these non-electrostatics I would have to say the the Beyers are probably the best sounding - certainly the most comfortable. The oddest are of course the Jecklin Floats (if you are not familiar with them then imagine the Cybermen from Doctor Who - that is what you look like wearing these headphones - but again a good sound). I have not tried the 2050s - I think I probably have enough now - OH - I forgot about the Etymotics - really useful on the move keeping the world well out of the way.
