wanted a step up from the SR60 without an amp. Does anyone use this combo?

well i have some ms2's which i sometimes use with my iriver ihp-140, it seems to sound ok, volume scale on the unit is 0 to 40 and a loud but comfortable playing level with the ms2 is 30. the combination isnt practical on the go, they also leak sound alot! on the go i use some crappy phones or my sporta pro's.

I"m using the MS-1 with a Dell DJ which has a volume rating up to 25. I usually have it set between 16-19 depending on the recording. They sound pretty good with great bass. Some say an amp will give you a 10-20% increase in quality....I"m pretty happy with it unamped.

I run the MS-1 from my Sony CD player. It sounds great, though I've heard it improves with an amp.

Use it on a direct source, for Godsake ! Don't use for compressed, it sounds too gorgeous for this !!...

Now, seriously. I tried it on Ogg, and even with it at 160kbps bite rate, I could tell the difference with the original track (on minimalist music).
I only use it on standing sources, for pure musical pleasure, and on my computer.

i couldnt tell the difference straight into the cdp vs thru a cmoy. They both sounded great. MS1's are very easy to drive

i'd like to, but you know, there are a very few spots i'd want to listen where i could get away without pissing people off with the ms-1's. i mean, if you're james taylor' stylin it in the country "walkin on a country road", your in business; but for me, on the bus, in the library the ms-1's aren't reallly appreciated

other than that, i'd bet they'd be great if you've got them for home anyway

I guess I should tell you guys that portability or isolation is not an issue.
I will use them at home. What is their return policy?

I'm just right for it !
