There is something very epic about this one. Love it!
Have you ever tried 1:1 framing btw?

This particular review caught my eye:
If they can bring out the vocals and fade out everything else, I might be seriously considering these.
I might be opting for the more affordable but discontinued 1601 over the PFIX. As I really have no way to demo them before buying, I figured I'd go for the cheapest FAD house sound. Hopefully it gets close to the signature of thePFs
Oh, and why is the PFX CC more expensive than the PFX G?

if i were you , i would not go for 1601 series. those are old design. the 1602 piano forte went thru a revamp in the shape - non replacable tips and it's the shape housing that create the unique horn sounding resonance that marks the sound signature of the aluring mids. If ever you wish to resell, the 1602 current model will fetch you a better price too.
see the picture for shape differences ** i link this to one of the older post posted by zilch0md **
Too late. Already bought the 1601s.
Which model would you recommend among PF models?

My friend Soundreaq feels the VIII is quite close to his PF IX. You can score the VIII for very little off of e-earphone/Fuijya. Maybe not $450 like Carl (amazing find man!), but $600-ish sure. The 1601 practically sounds normal next to the PF lol. Hope you like em Carl. There's nothing out there that sounds like a PF. I just wish the thing actually fit my ears without hurting, the housing is enormous

Eve, I have the 1601, the PFVIII &
the PFIX. I think if you listen more to vocals, the PF IX shades it for me. But I must say that the PF VIII is special. Anyway, if you are in Singapore, give me a shout and you can have a listen. Can't go wrong with either.
I lucked out and got a pair of Final Audio Design Piano Forte VIII's on ebay for under $450, used, like new.
Looking forward to hearing them. Hopefully they will have close to the same sound as the more high end FAD's.
Carlsan, beware of fakes. As far as I know, there are only PF VIII fakes, and EveTan's link above shows the seller is from China. Seems that seller has already sold some fake CDs (check his feedback).
