have been clued in to the direction of the 2-series for some time, so this is not a surprise. however, the news that Dale is ready to release the 2-series is a bit of a surprise, i had thought that they weren't ready til later this year. I'm very happy with the ASG-1.2, though I've had some minor issues with my AS-1, which I'll be sending back to Dale shortly. Tempted to pull the trigger on modding my AS-1 to a 2... temptinggg.
the move to a BA tweeter is interesting, given some of Dale's sentiments on BAs which he'd expressed in the previous thread. i do agree with him on BAs in general, but i do own (and have owned) a couple of BA IEMs which sound decent in their own right. Glad to see that Dale isn't focused on the technology as much as he's focused on making a great IEM that works for all his target user groups.
great news for us... bad news for our wallets.
