Used HE-6 & $500 speaker amp.
To each their own and music taste has a lot to do with it but...
LCD-2 w/ B22 is better than O2 MkI w/ KGSS and cheaper I dropped my O2MkI/KGSS for a Rev1 and 2 channel B22. Hate to see how fast I would have decided if it was the LCD-3 and Peak instead

I hate to piggyback but I have to agree with Solude. I owned that exact combo of an O2 mk1 and The Woo GES. It was really good with a lot of things (clarity, tonality, imaging) but lacked dynamic impact. (either not enough power from the GES or just a limitation of the O2).
For that kind of serious money (just under 3k used), I would rather have the LCD3 and a really good amp. or, if looking for a brighter, more spatious sound, the HD800.

You can add me to this list as well. IMO, both the LCD-2r2 and especially the LCD-3 outclass the SR007s (never quite sounded "right" to my ears).
I've not heard an LCD-2 or 3 that sounded "right" either. *shrug*
OP, another option is the Koss ESP/950. Less than $700 gets you a fantastic set of stats with a pretty decent amp. Add a STAX cable adapter for relatively little cash and you'd have even more amps to choose from.

FWIW, I've yet to hear any estat (headphone or speaker) sound real.
I did. Just pointing out other options, I figured there wasn't any harm in that.
That's unfortunate, the 009 + WES is drop-dead stunning.
I do hold out hope for the SR009 though....still on my "must hear soon" list.
The Mjolnir could very well wipe the floor with a ton of amps. Guess we'll know very soon. I'm hoping to get in on the post pre-order batch. Need to clear some inventory first
Yes it pisses me off when someone declares a certain amp as being the absolute best for a particular phone.
Even if that person had heard ALL the contenders it would still only be their opinion in one system. My Master-6 is stunning with the LCD2.2 but I am not going to say its the best.
