I have experience with both the LA7000 and LCD-2 from the Quattro amp. I think both are quite nice, but like others have said the LCD-2 is ultimately the better headphone. Still, I very much enjoy the LA7000, and the fact that it is closed means it is more practical in my house. I don't know if I would recommend a brand new LA7000 at this point but used examples are still viable for the price. A third option is the Unique Melody Merlin, which I just might prefer over the LCD-2.
