long time lurker of this thread have to make account for this
LCD-2 and LCD-2C does not sound the same. I tried out my friend LCD-2 F with JDS element and immediately fallen in love so I went out get LCD-2C and I was completely disappointed. At first i thought it was my amp doesn't have enough power to drive the LCD-2C so I got my friend JDS element to try it out and it still the same. He and I both agreed that it doesn't have same feel like LCD-2F . So I'm returning this and got LCD-2F on adorama for 650 and just take hit for returns fee.

If that is the case, buying a more powerful amp may not help.

Best way i can explain it the way LCD-2F move air when it generating sounds and sounds just come at you way the LCD-2C doenst have any of that. The intro of Queen Bohemian Rhapsody on LCD-2F you can literally feel the differents vocal coming at you at different location of headphone but on LCD-2 you can only hear vocal. To me LCD-2F just make music feel more alive.

For prices I dont believe it worth the 600 dollars compare to LCD-2F which often come up on sale on Adorama for around 650. Don't get me wrong it sound good but nothing compare to LCD-2F

I would have to agree the LCD-2F is better and if you can get an open box one for between $600 to $750 on Adorama it is worth the extra money over the Classic.

Lol in Norway you make twenty bucks an hour at McDonald's. I don't want to hear it.

Am I the only one here that's somewhat disturbed to hear they have McDonalds in Norway?

So are the classics not quite like the pre-fazor LCD-2? I thought the LCD-2F was very disappointing and I'd pay hundreds more for a fazorless model.

You can probably find a McDonalds in Antarctica or in the Amazon jungle so not surprising.

I have no idea what you're talking about

It would be most helpful if anyone who says “the LCD-2C is dissapointing” or “the LCD-2F is rubbish” or anything similar along those lines substantiate their opinions with actual examples of how and why they think so.

It would also be good to know if they actually own these headphones, or at least how long they got to listen to them, and what sources they used.

Otherwise it’s all just noise and doesn’t help anyone.

I Will be going to a shop with my lcd2c and AFO they have audeze products and chord dac/amps etc so I'll be doing alot of A/Bing.

To put if I need a better amp to rest, I should be able to hook it up to my home theater receiver (Onkyo TX-SR608) via front headphone out correct? If it sounds fuller in base I know that's what it is before I go through all the trouble of returning my HP-A4. Can someone verify if these specs will drive my LCD2C's adequately?

Thanks in advance,

Those don't give us the headphone out specs

Unfortunately probably not. Most AV receivers have fairly high output impedance through their headphone jacks, which won’t play nice with your LCD. Still you can give it a go. It as easy as plugging in and having s listen. Just don’t expect it to sound anywhere near as good as a dedicated headamp.

Also what you’ve pasted is the speaker amp section. See if you can find the headphone amp section and post those specs.

Ugh, I haven't been able to find anything specific on the headphone out, so I was hoping I was just missing something here. The only problem I have is I don't know anyone else in my area that would have a suitable headphone amp (or any for that matter) to test with, so trying anything I can to verify before I send stuff back.

Appreciate the responses as always.

I'm not surprised at why 2F literally has better imaging and has more focus than a non-fazor LCD but there are more to explain why some people still prefer the non-fazor over fazor or vice-versa, I hope someone here who has both rev2.1, 2.2 prefazor compared to this 2C.
