You're tempting me. But I guess unless the newest LCD-2 R2 got more musical than the previous R2, I think I would still prefer the LCD-2 R1, while technically inferior, still more musical to me. Which is why I gave up on the HD800. I take Grado RS1 with flats (with the midbass bloat and collapsed soundstage and midrange spike) any day over the HD800 or LCD-3. I'm just that way.

There was a huge improvement in the LCD-2 R2 sonic quality around summer of 2012, six months after the whole LCD-3 veil issue, maybe like three months after that got sorted out. These new R2s sound crazy better than the older R2s from 2011. I honestly thought they had put in LCD-3 drivers into my rosewood cups on accident.
Just sayin...
