+1 Would love to see reviewed by David
After reading Steve Guttenberg's review, I, too, would love to see what David thinks about them. As one who respects Steve's opinions, I am very excited about these headphones! Here are a couple of quotes from his review:
"The AB-1266's dynamic range capabilities radically advance the state of the art, the [size=15.333333015441895px]$5,200 Stax SR 009 headphone may be the equal of the AB-1266's transparency and sound staging, but the SR 009's dynamic kicks and bass oomph aren't remotely in the AB-1266's league."[/size]
"The Abyss AB-1266 is the most expensive headphone I've ever tested, but it outruns the competition in every way I evaluate headphone sound."
What excites me the most is that these have planar magnetic drivers, and, as such, I suspect that my Violectric V200 will be able to drive them. (They can handle the HE-6, so here's to hoping.) If these are even better than the Stax SR 009, I may very well have to spring for a pair! Look ma, no electrostatic amp required!
Double whoa!!!
