Denon AH-C551s

I've used most of the major distros at some point or other, but I've been using Ubuntu solidly for the last two years. It's great, does everything I want, is simple to use, works without a hitch. When I started off using Linux I preferred KDE but Gnome has grown on me a lot and is now my...

So, after the advise here, I've ordered a pair of AH-C551s. They should be with me in a week or so.
