Remix, Faders, M-100, Crossfade, etc is a perfect example of our awareness.

 

Rocky Mountain Audio Festival Denver, we'll have M-100s!

We'll have M-100s at RMAF, so make your arrangements now if you can.  I can't wait, last year was a blast.


The RMAF is October 12th.  I hope I have them on my ears before then!

 

Also, in one of the pictures you posted last week of the shelves of M-100 boxes, there were some blue shields that looked to be an amazing new shade.  Is this a new color for the M-100 launch?

Can the design on the custom shields be in color (multiple, preferably)?  Or is the laser-etched designed a darker shade than the shield?

I liked all your suggestions, but this one the most and the most out of all so far.  ("Primus" for short).

The only problem now is that the bigger driver requires an amp to surpass M-80, unamped it's SQ is < M-80.  What to do?!  Lock or try again w a new driver that can beat M-80 with an iPhone 4S?  Or go for diff sound signature.  I'm stuck in my head analyzing what will make the greater sound for the greatest amount of people, it depends who is buying it!

 

If anybody wants to test I can organize something soon in LA to get feedback and then I can lock.

Is this statement still valid? Im only using a Fiio e11 right now, planning to buy the E17. Would they do?

no M100 >= M80 unamped, but M100 > M80 amped.

That statement was made in January, just saying, it's been significantly improved since. If my memory serves me right it wasn't until like aprox a month ago the "final" sound characteristics were locked down or so and Val himself and AnakChan seemed quite pleased with that latest version. :)

At the moment this all seems a bit presumptious, as the only one who's had any impressions is Anakchan, and I don't think he's specified how he was listening to his music. All we know is, from that experience, it's "Dynamite"

If these are a step down from the M-80's unamped, I don't want them. If they need me to haul around an amp just to be as good sounding as a more portable set of cans, something's wrong; they're not considered "portable headphones" at that point, IMO.

Yeah. But the big thing is that I'm not sure that a larger driver necessitates an amp. They should sound fine without an amp, especially when fullsize cans such as the M50's and, well, the LP's pull it off.
