Anyone attend Canjam Socal and preview the Cavalli Liquid Carbon? It goes on sale for a limited production run tomorrow at $599. It's rated at 1500Mw output. Will that drive the LCD-2f adequately?

The LCDs literally need only a few mW to reach painful volume. 1500 mW will blow out your ears and probably the membrane on the headphones.

The drivers are supposed to be able to handle 15 W for up to 200 ms, according to the manufacturer specs. That's a peak of nearly 143 dB based on the new 101 dB/mW sensitivity spec. Anyone got a speaker tap?

I was working on an amp board while listening....accidentally shorted an output transistor with the cans on my head.....was as loud as a gunshot at an indoor shooting range. Both the cans and my ears survived. Certainly don't want to do that agin, but yes, I believe the cans are capable of 140db plus.

Powerwise, abso-freaking-lutely. It's a powerhouse of an amp. It's a pretty forward, aggressive sound, I'm told, so I hope you're okay with that.

Just got my LCD-X yesterday. Had upgraded from a pre-fazor LCD-2.2. Initial listening seems to confirm much of what I had read about the LCD-X. Gonna give it a few more weeks, then perhaps I'll do a brief comparison with the LCD2 (from memory though, as I have sold and shipped out the LCD2).

A lot of headphones have been released the past 5 years. You guys still think this is a good buy? I'm eying my first high/summit -fi headphone.

They updated driver material, added new tech... it still competes. The market is just more saturated now because of their initial success. Buy used if you want, no shame there!

I just purchased the LCD 2.2F about 3 months ago. I couldn't be happier. No regrets.
