This sucks, I have to bail out on this, have a family commitment. I hope everyone has a good time, maybe I'll be able to make the next one.

I will have to check this out, have been enjoying my k501's since August.

Not sure about prices in Europe, but I would ad the AKG K501 to the list.

You can find the 240S for the same price as the MS-1's. http://www.samash.com/catalog/showit...ent&GroupCode= Can get em a little cheaper on Ebay too.

tyrion, PM sent, want 2 tickets, thanks.

DOH! Just when I thought I would be happy with my nearly one month old 501's for a long time. Can't wait to read and hear about the 601 and 701.

Thanks for the responses so far. Lou I am enjoying them very much, just thought my post may start some good conversation. Where I bought the 501's, I did get to A/B them against the AKG 240S, Senn 555, and the Grados from 80 thru 225 and I still liked them the best. Even had the MS-1 in house...

I've had my 501's for about a month now, and they are really growing on me. Not that I did not like them when I purchased them, but I've read many posts how they are not for rock but frankly that is mostly what I listen to. Dire Straits, Knopfler, Steely Dan, Aimee Mann, got some Bonnie Raitt on...

kin0kin, Thanks for sharing your demo experience, but just to show how we all hear things differently, I'll share some of mine. I was able to demo the Grado 80's up through the 325i's. I thought there was an increase in sound quality as I went up, with the exception of the 225. Maybe they...

mrdon, Never did anything like this either, but maybe the first thing we can do is decide on a date. Maybe post some available dates, and let the people vote on one date?

Anything new on this? People still interested? Anything I can do?

Gee, guess what I got in the mail today! This is incredible, I left a message (2 weeks ago, only because getting a live person is near impossible) to cancel my order called in almost a month ago. Oh well, I'll try em out against my AKG K501's and send em back.
