No, but if speakers were as easy to switch out as headphones, people might :)

I could see having an alternate set of front mains depending on whether I was listening to music or watching a movie. It would be a challenge dealing with the differing room acoustic requirements and EQ , but again, that's something not required for headphones.

......and you thought the French had it made!
 
 
Seriously, in the U.K. Mrs. & girlfriend/wife/fiancee can all be the same person.
 
@paul2qute  when you race to the finish so you can get back to listening, THAT's when you worry!

They can all be different people also :wink:

Not in my case though. I am somewhat attached to my testicles and want to remain so...

Just hope she never sees the invoice to my HEK's for the same reason.

I think this is totally weird in my opinion because do ppl lift in and out different speakers when they listen to different music?

I have not heard of people lifting speakers in and out. Speakers are not what I would call easy to position so that would be difficult and in my experience not too much fun, especially when they are several hundred pounds. I have seen lots of speaker fans setup 2, 3, even 4 different pairs of speakers in one room though so they can switch flavors when they want. Very large living rooms though with lots of bass traps. If you are lucky enough to have a significant other that does not mind the look of bass traps then positioning is a little less key.

Anyone knows where to buy the connectors at the headphone end of Utopia?

Do what everyone else does and and buy a second setup for work so you can enjoy it at work too while working your butt off to pay off the rig you have at home. I'm using Denon D5K at work. Not as good as Utopia technically but it gets the job done. Also on some occasions I bring them home and on my desktop DAC/Amp setup here they sound much better than they do at work. Good to the point of where I think I don't need Utopia or anything better and "Holy crap are these the Denons on my head? They sound amazing!"... until I put the Utopia back on.

Ha, I wish I was allowed to have a set up at work! That would be bliss. Unfortunately my job involves other people so it's a no go...

Yes, I have bought Razor Dog audio before, they have good discounts. I bought a Hifiman HE-400i from them that was used, but it looked brand new. I recommend them!
