People are sleeping on the LSA HP-1. These sound very good. They present an incredible bang for your buck and punch way above their price point.
I hope so... just ordered them pretty much as a blind purchase.

If you ordered them, make sure you also buy the 002 earpads! The stock pads are a little bright and unforgiving. The 002 pads give a tad more bass punch and a smoother upper mid and top end. Ask Walter about them!
Yup, ordered them as well!

Just ordered LSA HP-2 Ultra ( Kennerton Gjallarhorn) direct from Walter Liederman - nice communication. Wish they had other colors I like dark wood for Magni's- but lets see how the sound.... can't wait! How long to ship from Hawaii to NY - anyone's guess...

Personally, I love the Vali. (original version). Overall, it's probably my favorite headphone (and you can see the competition it's up against in my headphone inventory). It's not perfect, and I wouldn't want it as my only headphone. I wouldn't even recommend the Vali to everyone. But what it does well, it does so...damn...good. It's the best Rock headphone I've ever had, or even ever heard. It fits my sonic preferences almost perfectly: rich tonal density, fantastic punchy bass, dynamic, low-distortion clarity and--smooth top end. No treble offensiveness here. And yet still detailed. It's both non-fatiguing/easy to listen to and exciting at the same time. And the build is fantastic of course.

Is it the best Kennerton headphone? No, I wouldn't say that. Because it depends on what your sonic priorities/preferences are. I listen to a lot of Classical for instance, and I don't use the Vali for that. But for other, more electric musics, the Vali is awesome. Enjoy the variety!
Hi Arcamera,

Do you mind talking to me about the treble on the Vali? I understand that it is quite rolled off. The graph doesn't look too bad, but my concern is lack of detail.

Cheers

HP-2 is not equal Ghorn

HP2 < Ghorn in SQ and Soundstage
But HP2 > Ghorn in Bass and Subbass
Is that b/c the LS2 is a closed back? I need closed back. Family keeps telling me they can hear my music on my openback hp.
