It isn't a shame MD offered both headphones. That is good for us. It is a shame for MD the two campaigns ran into each other. It would have been much better for MD if they ran at slightly different times.Hmmm...
A $500 (half price) well established (vintage?) open electrostatic, vs a $900 (also half price) newish closed 'V-Planar'. Seriously, this is a shame? I think it is generous of them to make these opportunities available.
When my finances recover, I'm personally looking for a return of the Focal Elex, knowing I'll then have to invest at least as much in a high-end amp to get them to their best. I can dream, right?
I managed somehow to choose between real and american football - and golf - on Sunday. What's the big deal? Go Tiger!
YMMV
The football vs golf is different. They are owned by different organizations and will be forced to compete. Massdrop doesn't have to compete with themselves. Made by Massdrop campaigns are much more important to MD than one time flings. Doubt MD would grow much larger without their made by equipment. MD has a lot more trouble competing on non exclusive items. Their policies are far less favorable to consumers (no returns, long waits). This is part of the reason they have worked so hard to establish their made by brand.
I am looking forward to the Koss. Wish shipping time wasn't so long away. ☺
