Grade gs1000e or rs1e?
Looking to step up from my older grados into the woods. how does the the RS1e compare to the gs1000e? What would gain -or expect- going with the higher priced gs1000e? From what I have gathered- the stage is better on the 1000's but the RS1 seems to match it everywhere else.- Randolph Duke
