Not yet. They told me my order would take about 10-14 days. I don't think the XB1000 has been officially released in Canada and they do have it on their site as a special order so I guess that the distribution situation is still being...

Just placed an order with Microcad for the XB1000s. I'll post back here with how it turns out.

1) Yes, the Pro 900 would benefit more from amping than a Hifi 680  2) yes, the Hifi 680 has a higher impedance than the Pro 900s   However, the connection between those 2 points is a lot less substantial than you may...

Welcome to headfi!   I tried out the TDK ST-800 and while I would say that $150 is an okay price for them, since they retail at $300 (at which point they are ridiculously overpriced), I still don't think they sound very good....
