Keep going....

$3600 I guess due to no significant changes in drivers.

Edition 6 apparently:

 
When I look into the appearance of Edition 6, the thickness is as same as HE1000 V1, but the driver units appeared to be yellow as electrostatic driver units.
Would it be inherited from HE-6 or something new from Shangri-La?

Well it's a planar magnetic, so I'm guessing more in common with HE1000.

On the HE6 forum @Mediahound says the price is going to be $5999 (for headphones alone).

It's good in a way... That Audiophilia Nervosa that keeps you upgrading to the latest model no longer applies to the HEK, won't be TOTL even if I upgraded to v2. So, take a deep breath, empty your head of thoughts, but notice them as they come in...

Honestly, this is exactly how I feel about it.

6k for ed 6 will make Stax 009 and Utopia look like bargains. I am pleased to hear this if true.

I can confirm that 6000.00 was the price I was told when I was sent the photo of it.

Keep the Abyss. If you are patient, release of ed6 v2 will half the street price of ed6 v1. Estimated sometime in early 2018?

You're being way too generous. ED6 v2 will be out by summer 2017. You know how Hifiman do.
