Which of the following would you recommend?
A700: $127 @ ElectronJon's
AD700: $110 @ ElectronJon's
A900: $189 @ AudioCubes
I'm about to order, but which one do I want (or do I want one of the 500 models)? I hear great things about AT's (everything from sound to comfort, to construction quality to very easy 'drivability') so I've finally narrowed myself down to these models (I eliminated other possibilities like the HD555's) but I'm not sure if I want open or closed and I'm not sure sure if I want to spend the extra on the A900's. My original budget was around $150CDN (about $130 US) but I hear amazing things about the A900s and can't seem to find very many reviews at all on the lower models.
Are the 900's a significant step up and are they worth destroying my budget for? $189 is pretty steep for me so I only want to have to spend it if there are real noticeable differences (even with sources like an iPod and an Audigy 2) If it's not worth it, which of the 700s sounds better? Do I want open or closed? I do enjoy bass and like a good punch to my headphones but I don't want the bass to be muddy and to drown out the detail and soundstage either.
One more question: How's AudioCubes? I went to their site and calculated that shipping here is only 9 bucks which sounds mighty fine to me. How long do they normally take to ship, how's their service in general, and do I have to pay taxes if I'm ordering from across the border?
Thanks, I really appreciate all the help I've received on this board over the past couple weeks regarding my upcoming purchase.
