I came to Stax a few months ago, then having Senn HD800S and Focus Elear as my main HP setup - I always seem to have two HPs as main setup
And then I was presentented to a Stax setup for the first time. What the ****! (Sorry for the language). It was some kind of revelation, like a veil was lifted from my musical experience. I generally listen to quite dynamic music. Suddenly the dynamic range seemed coherent. The "stax image" did not have any problem of creating an airy, natural representation of the dynamic range of the music I listened to. I was stunned. I understand that my description is very anecdotal, but that is the way I listen to music. The setup giving me this Stax revelation was L700 with srm-353x. But, by long experience from the headphone world, I have a feeling I would have felt the same with L300.
