Too bad I couldn't let you borrow the two STAX I owned so far. I would have been interested in your comparisons. The main things I found slightly lacking in the SR-207 (and to a lesser extent, the SR-30, which rocks harder, but doesn't sound as good most of the time) were bass, impact, and the weight of the instruments. Very accurate, but just a little too light. (I guess that's what people mean when they call STAX ethereal, but thankfully, it wasn't overly bright and airy like the word ethereal may imply.) Aside from that, they were phenomenal.
I'm quite surprised to hear you say that, because when I told you this exact thing you were defending the SR-207 saying they had, and I quote: "epic bass".
