anyways, the main purpose of this current post is just to get a feel for how well the k701s will fit my needs for my ipod.

thanks, kirk

Should do superbly hooked up to either the iPod or the receiver! An amp like the PA2V2 would really help bring out the dynamics, however...

Hey Todd,

That's great news, I'll be looking for the mailman next week. My name on the Order is Oriel Mendelovitz and my email is oriel.mendelovitz@gmail.com. Could you please email me the tracking # on my global express shipment? I like to look for the package at the end of every day so that I can drool in anticipation...

Received my K701s in today's mail. Listening to them at that moment, and I can tell already that these are going to be something special.

Thanks, Todd, for the speedy service.

You should probably call Todd directly to discuss price and availability. You will get a better feel for the situation that way, and a faster answer.
