I'm a little confused...  Did you just say no one has heard the W4?

Hey fuzzyash, don't worry about the size of the ASG-1.2. the pics look big but it really isn't that big. I was surprised by how small they were in person - and i'm not a very big person either.
 
Have gotten small-sized folks, as well as folks with small ears to try the ASG-1, all seem to enjoy the fit. Might be different over long term use though.
 
As for the ASG-2 - I can't comment on that per se, but I have tried a universal demo of the AS-2 (apparently there is a difference). If the fit of the AS-2 universal demo is anything to go by, its actually noticeably smaller. Doesn't fill up my ears as much, and I worry a bit about getting a good seal. Nonetheless, during my very brief audition session, the AS-2 universal demo unit impressed me very, very considerably. Can't wait for my AS-2 to arrive. Its been months - but I know its well worth the wait.

im interested in what the price will be as the custom version starts at $800
$100 less for the generics like the asg 1 perhaps?

I'm glad to hear about another member getting a set of AS-2's. I'm sure you'll love them as well. Post up some pictures and a review when you get them.

Yeah I really need to try the 4Ai and the ASG 2. Its just both are out of my budget, I cant wait for reviews on the ASG 2 and if they're making a universal fit version of the ASG 2. Hopefully $100 cheaper than a custom.

the AS-2 are already out retailing for $800 and they are the custom version
the ASG-2 is not yet released but if the 4ai are out of your budget at $400, the universal version will probably be over your budget
if they are $100 below the customs, that means they'll retail for $700, almost double the 4ai

I also recently sent off impressions for a pair.  I requested a stealth cover (sexy finish) with a polished body (sexy electronics) and Dale's going to make it happen.  I'll try to provide some comments from a musician's perspective, especially regarding the effectiveness of the ambient ports for monitoring.

mmm Fiona Apple sounds wonderful on my 1.2. They don't do all vocals well, but they definitely compliment Fiona's voice.

 

[tinyman392]

IDK if anyone has mentioned this, if anyone has, I don't remember   Put some resistance against your ASG 1.2...  The high midrange increases a bit so does treble.  Actually, the bass tones down a bit giving way for some of the vocals to come back  

 

[anoxy]

With or without EQ treble boost?

I never EQ, IDK why, I just don't do it.  So without. In this case, I don't know how much resistence I gave it, I was using the little airline attenuator that came with my UE 900 (it came with a 3.5 mm > 3.5 mm adapter).

It's 75 ohms

Anyone tried pairing amps with the ASG-1's? Just curious whether it scales well or not.

Big dynamics usually do well with amps, I find the ASG-1.2 no exception with my 5.5 ipod just not quite doing the job alone.
