Much as I was impressed by the Sennheiser HE1 no headphone system will ever have the room-shaking bass or jaw-dropping dynamics of a high-end floorstander system due to physics. Its one thing to hear the music, and another to feel it through your entire body which is where speakers will always be king. What I love about IEMs is how amazingly they deliver the tiniest details and making it feel like there's an orchestra playing inside your head. They're very different experiences.

That's a pretty special experience in itself, especially the first time you hear it. I'll never forget the first time I heard the Stax007 about 20 years ago while shopping for 2ch stuff in a local hifi shop. Headphones/ear phones to me were a $30max convenience item for my portable cd player.. I had no idea about high end HeadFi gear... I remember being in awe and actually a little confused by how these headphones made the inside of my head the size of a concert hall.. I'd take them off, put them on.. it was dumbfounding.
You don't get that same level of cognitive dissonance with 2ch...
And I apologize for the off topic rambling...

Guys, there are no can's or IEM's that I've ever heard that can do what a good 2 channel system in the right room, can do. Laws of physics still prevail here.
Having the right room and the right wife is where you can run into problems!
My wife's the best, but don't think she'll go for it!

Those are some familiar speakers. Except we took the grills off to be showy. MBL rep in the photo not I.
probably hard to describe, but what do those omnidirectional speakers sound like? I imagine their soundstage is very different from traditional speakersThose are some familiar speakers. Except we took the grills off to be showy. MBL rep in the photo not I.

It's kind of like you enter a room and sound is everywhere - you move closer to speaker and sound doesn't really change, you move away or turn and sound is practically the same. They fill in whole room with a sound - at least that's my experience with MBL at Polish AudioVideo Show - I've heard both MBL 101E and 101 X-treme and they were one of the most memorable experiences at that expo, truly one of the best speakers I've heard to date.
Wow, nice room. How much is it for a month here, when can I move in?Having the right room and the right wife is where you can run into problems!

After that you can check out any time you like,
but you can never leave!

I'm just curious, any word on the new spiral ear? I was absent for a few weeks
