I've been going back and forth on this for a while now. I know of a pair available and I've been debating on whether or not to get them.
My main reason for wanting them is because it's finally reached the point where I'm just not completely satisfied with my R10s when it comes to my more aggressive musical tastes - namely hard rock and metal. They get the tone and soundstaging perfectly, but lose the visceral and up-front impact needed. I have my RS1's but I've yet to recable them for my SDS-XLR, and their lack of soundstage bothers me on more refined and expansive metal (think Opeth, Emperor, etc.). I thought, perhaps, the L3000s would be a great fit. From what little I've heard of them I remember their excellent bass and superb handling of guitars and rock music.
My one concern is this: Are the L3000s fast enough to handle the fastest and most complex metal?
I've heard they're not the fastest headphones, and I'm wondering how they handle very fast, complex, and aggressive music.
