State your reason and WHY. In other words, I don't want the W3 bandwagon overflowing into this thread.
Price is not an issue, since I might have found a way to get the IE8 at a lower price than $450 (not sure if it will work, but we'll see).
I want killer soundstage, a sound that's both detailed and fun to listen to (sort of a "full/fun/rich transparency", or very slightly warm to the point where it's basically still transparent. I hate the "completely transparent" sound of Ety's). It also cannot require an amp to sound anywhere near its potential (I don't own an amp), and I want to try to avoid any sibilance because my ears are pretty sensitive to it.
My source is a Sony S639F.
Here are some examples of my music.
YouTube - Jack Johnson - Sitting, Waiting, Wishing: Album Version (Edited), Closed Captioned
YouTube - Andrew Gorny - Rather Walk With You
YouTube - Matthew Santos - Shadows in a Shoebox - www.candyrat.com
YouTube - Audioslave - Like A Stone
YouTube - Rage Against The Machine - Sleep Now In The Fire
YouTube - Bush - Everything Zen
YouTube - Minus the Beaer - Monkey!!! Knife!!! Fight!!!!
Please help me find what's best for me!
