Origional price was $1500.00.Only a 100 ever made.some without volume controls which mine origionaly came that way. |
Hard to say. Though it was feeding my amp, everything else was off spec for me. The combo was assembled late to give MSport911 the chance to hear the Zana Deux with his source. I listened to it with the GS-1000's, in meet conditions (people talking) so I really can't say. It was better than my XRAY v3 (duh!), but was it megabucks better? I can't say. Ryan listened for a bit with his own cans, and he knows the signature of the Zana, so maybe he can add his comments. I will say it was a damn fine sounding combo. And one I'm pretty sure my wallet will never afford! A_Sr |
