Or at least, the LCD3 Rev 2...

You mean LCD 3 Rev 1?

Rev 4, if you count the TP and the post RMA "non-veiled" ones.

Planned for LCD2-rev2 and thought why not "just a good time to audit and compare with LCD3".
Finally.... LCD3 is with me at home now.

@ Nellie: since you got you're LCD-3s back: can you give some impressions of how they sound with your ALO RX-mk3-b? SHAHZADA123 was saying that the rx-mk3 could almost keep up with his EC Balancing Act, which would make something made by ALO actually a good deal! 

 (sorry, their cable prices are ridiculous)

Is there really a LCD-4 on the way?

Rumor has it...

These are jokes.
 
They need to streamline the LCD-3 production to ensure consistency before they go flouncing off making a new model.

Has anybody tried LCD3 or LCD2 with Audio-Technica HA5000 amp?
How do they pair?

I am sure it's been discussed before, but could someone tell me how rev. 1 and rev. 2 differs in tonal balance and naturalness? I mean I am happy with LCD-3 for rock, electronic, pop, and other processed music. However, I am quite unhappy with it for vocal, classical, and acoustic music. Indeed, I would rather use HD650 for the latter genres. Is rev. 2 a sufficient improvement in those two aspects?

 

[MorbidToaster]

Honestly the Rev 1 is the most intimate sounding. I kind of want one again once I put together a 'forgiving' rig. 
 
It's smooth, creamy and flat out great for getting that warm fuzzy feeling from your music.

I agree with you. It's superb in many aspects. I am just not happy about it's tonal balance and naturalness. As I said, I would rather pick up HD650 for classical music and acoustic music. That's why i wonder if I should bother having it RMA'ed

 

[MorbidToaster]

(I was a little confused by what you asked but I see what you mean now)
 
The Rev 2 improves quite a bit as far as balance goes, but I don't know...I like the natural smooth, intimate sound of the Rev 1 for acoustic stuff. Concerning Classical though I think they both fall short. I'd probably reach for the 650 over either the Rev 1 or 2 for Classical stuff.

If you've heard....is the Rev 1 comparable to the HE-500?

I have HE-500 with me here. Also not happy with it for tonal balance and naturalness. Great cans for vocal though (if you can bear with the colored, mid-centric signature).

Ah, I found the HE-500 to be pretty balanced. I just didn't feel it had the mids nor bass of the LCD-2's. The LCD 1's intrigue me now.
