Oh I'm not OP, I just wanted to see what people thought about the MS2 compared to the SR225 so I'll have an idea when I upgrade in the summer. Yeah it is a shame that it cost $320 to get it shipped from Australia.

What's the main difference? A more controlled tremble?

I said best price by $25, meaning the ones I found were $25 Lower than anything else I found($175 compared to $199).

And the MS-2's are right at my max budget, so I might have grabbed them instead. Too late now though. But if I like the sound, I could always sell these off for close to what I paid and purchase the MS-2's.

I wondered if anybody would recognize him. The only thing I don't like about MST3K is that, eventually, I'll run out of episodes to watch. It's a good thing re-watching them never gets old.

So now you guys are making me add the Alessandro MS2 to my list also? Ohh boy, I better hurry up and finish college so I can fuel my addic-...I mean...my hobby.

I picked up the Grado's, but I am thinking of picking up a pair of HFI-780's to compare against, and see which I like better. But I was wondering if the HFI-780's will sound any good when just being run from my X-Fi ExtremeGamer sound card? Thanks.
