Being a regular guy with down to earth budget, I bought Lambda Nova Basic second hand. I just got senn 595 at that moment and brought them along for comparison. First time I pushed play, my jaw dropped to the floor .. and deal was immediately done. Didn't expect so much bass detail to come out with 'undescribed' overall transparency and clarity .. and how on earth could there be such sweet mids !!
Unfortunately the wow factor was really that huge, especially coming from dynamic phones. After some more careful listening and comparison with speakers (both stats and dyn) over next few months ... they spend more and more time collecting dust. The details I heard on Nova are apparently there on 595 and even more so on 650, but senns produce more clear transients in between and with darkness in the background. I would not part with my stax, they provide an awesome listening experience - but I enjoy music more with senns.
