Don't worry grokit. He will sing a different tune once he acquires the LCD3.

Which Begs the question, more alcohol or more LCD goodness?
I just wonder when enough is enough. I am extremely happly with the r2's and I can't imagine how another set of headphones would sound "Better" than what I'm happy with now. I imagine that I won't be able to help comparing them at the next meet but I've reached my price limit on "Good". Between these and the Westone ES5's I don't think I will climb any higher on the ladder.
Besides, there are always upgrades on speakers, amps, turntables, cartridges, etc.
Wonder if the LCD-3 thread will set a new record
Without a doubt if I were to somehow acquire the LCD-3 without having to pay $2K for them! But $1K is my limit for sanity with headphones and $2K is where I start my lust for entry level speakers. Anyway I have a feeling that the LCD-3 is not yet a fully completed design and that further refinements will be discovered and implemented to it as manufacturing of the LCD-3 reveals the not yet discovered secrets. Either it will lead to a LCD-3 r.2 because of this or to the LCD-4. Even if the LCD-3 were closer to the LCD-2 in price I would still wait a long while until the manufacturing of the LCD-3 was proven to be solid and flawless. As it stands now it is a new process and a new design and has yet to stand the rigors of manufacturing and field testing.
I'm more excited by Sennheiser's new RS 220 than the LCD-3. Been looking for a wireless to watch TV and movies with.
It sounds like you need to audition a pair of Reality-1's, I wonder how they will compare with the Magnepan desktop monitors you are contemplating.
It seems that Sennheiser could have upped the quality even more if they were using the Kleer technology that they have licensed in the past instead of 2.4 GHz RF technology that has inherent limitations for hifi audio transmission.
Is Sennheiser not using the Kleer technology with the RS 220? Don't they use that on all the wireless cans?
RS 220: "The transmitter puts out an uncompressed 2.4 GHz signal".
Kleer: "Nearly flawless wireless co-existence through short transmissions and triple band (2.4, 5.2 and 5.8 GHz) radio technology".
If the RS 220 was Kleer I think that Sennheiser would be mentioning it in the description, but maybe they feel like their "Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)" tech is as good.
