Anyone taken off those grills and painted them? I have been thinkin about getting some vegan pads and painting the grills military green
You don't have a Rev1, hence no allen key or allen key screw in the Rev2 blocks
is there any way to loosen the clamping force ? they are a bit too clampy
I have bended that to the negative degree even and no worries about it braking 
You can also put books between the headphones when your not at home.
Aaaaaa... most likely I'm going to be a owner of LCD-2 Rev.3 next week.
Found a nice shop from Europe (soundconsult.nl) with excellent communication and good price (ordering from US with customs would end up the same). And my HE-500's already found a local buyer for good price..
I know, it's a friggin thousand euros, but I just feel I can't accept any less bass (especially extension). It will be mostly used on electronic, rock, metal etc, music that begs the "wall of sound". Also lots of movie watching. Yet it should also handle all the occasional chillier music gracefully. Realistically I'm not expecting it to _really_ blow my mind after HE-500's, but surely it has to be just a step further for my use? Hell, if I feel like wearing earplugs and blowing my eardrums with <20hz sinewaves or something else crazy, the technical merits would allow it.
Tell me that I'm not crazy?
You seem to be very well aware yourself the LCD-2 won't amaze you after having used the HE-500. Owning and using both, I'd say you will indeed enjoy the Audez'e better with rock and metal. For everything else I still prefer the HE-500 sound, I still haven't made up my mind about electronic music so I've been using the HE-400 or HD650 for that
Soundconsult is a great shop, I've talked to Harm a couple of times. Yes it's 1.000€ but I bought my LCD-2 from ALO in ste States and ended up paying (you better sit down) $360 customs on a $1K headphone. So finally I think the €1K price, if you buy from a company is justified.
