Because I had a chance to listen to them (only for short period of time) and its presentation (especially bass) was just so powerful. Very hard hitting bass that emulates punch in the stomach. And I'm not a big basshead-type person, rather, I'm quite critical of bass presentation more than anything. I could not find any faults with those lovely beasts - midrange and treble were very natural and was not recessed even with presence of that wonderful bass.

I see. I guess your exposition to them was quite short and under meeting conditions. Not implying they're bad cans or have gross defects, but IMHO for someone who seems to appreciate correct timbre, resolution and "evolved" treble, they're not that outstanding. Quite enjoyable nonetheless, and impressive at first listen.

They probably won't be my "only" cans that I'll have though.
I think they'll make a great alternative from O2 Mk1.

You should try some Edition 9 then...

I tried to like it, but I can't

... I liked some part of its presentation, but overall, not a can I would live with

..

Thanks Red for an informative review/comparison. I am considering the AD2000's as opposed to getting the 10's as I have a pair of 9's that I truly enjoy and are used portably. I dunno if I could sport the AD2000 outside on the trolleys. Not to threadjack but these AT cans look interesting.

ehhh I'll look for someone else to bite the bullet first...I'll pass on A2000X for now until price goes down

No problem, feel free to use the pics. I've got no qualms over their use and they can be distributed freely. There's no need to take it off... to take it all off... but of course you're free to do whatever you like in the privacy of your domicile.

Oh, and also -- very nice writeup!

I've pretty much given up hope there. I doubt I can ever afford one as of this point... Its gone past $2500 IIANM.

My dreams have been crushed...

In a perfect world, this would be it for me too. Except that I'd have to throw in the Lambda Signatures too.

I was reading the Jade thread yesterday... the last 5 pages are really scary... It sucks you in.

I had to close it and run away.

Any plans to get the Jade mate?

Nice review, but I still think W2002 are the better choice, better looking and sound.
What? you say it is too expensive?You’re in high end!

...k.Still not portable though.

Great cans - and largely overlooked on this forum. Unfortunately, I'm most likely to skip and and go for L3000s instead

I hope I can see your review for L3000 soon. Anyway, I like those ones I can see the wood.
