WA7

Curious about that upgrade program when it finally comes around. I'm currently a proud owner of the WA7.

I bought a pair of mint condition of X00's from a friend and they were damn pleasing. The low end was addictive, but that's all that I liked about it and it wasn't enough to make me want to keep it. The mids left me wanting more and the sibilance was quick to become irritating. 

What can't the WA7 power? 

If you're looking for vocals then you're out of luck. The TH-900 has one of the strongest V-shaped characteristics out there.

My personal vote is probably going to be the TH-X00 or LCD-XC. I have a soft spot for wood cups and especially when they have a nice glossy/lacquered look.

WA7 > HD800   Insanely pleasing to the eyes and ears for me. Can't wait to change the tubes and also hear how the a TH-X00 pairs with it when I grab a pair. I'm probably going to get the tube power supply unit sometime down the road.

When I grab a pair, I look forward to pairing it with my WA7. I'm eager to hear how well it will respond, and tightening up the lower and higher end frequencies. I'll also be using it with the LG V10 when I desire to listen to music, but would much rather not be at my desk.
