Which Denon and Fostex model are you referring to? I've heard of the legend of abyss 1266 but haven't tried it yet.

Focal Stellia. Very energetic and punchy/slam.

I’m joining the gang. Just ordered my Empy 2 today. Now I can do a direct comparison with Diana MR.

Are there port bass pads for Empy similar to Diana series?

I just got my Diana MR 2 days ago and now the dealer told me he has one Empy 2 in stock for a pretty sizeable discount. Tempting but I mostly listen to hip hop and house/EDM so your review is holding me back lol

Do any of you find the Stellia’s cups small and clamp force a bit much?

PM

I would call them and see if this can be done. Let me know. I’ve been meaning to call but work and life are occupying all my time lately.

I am debating hard on this deal too lol. I wanted gorged carbon, black frame, and vegan ported bass pads but not available online. I may have to call abyss directly for it.

Use code 10BF for 10% off at Abyss directly.

What was the sold price OP? I’m in the market for a used unit as well.

The Stellia sounds so rich and warm on Woo Audio WA7 tube amp. It's really pleasing for listening enjoyment. Is this the "tubeness" people are referring to?

Wow I didn't even know about the tubes buzz and hum. Well I would have to pair the tube amp with my Arya organic or HD 800s then. Thanks.
