Maybe the LCD3 comes w/ an LCD2?  That would explain the price for sure.

Which one?  Rev 1 and  rev 2 sound different enough to me.

The No Excessive Treble house sound.

Its costs $2000 so probably not. Suddenly my LCD-2 Rev2s seem like some old technology lying around the street ;_; an entire summer of work (poor college student) for 2nd rate headphones

I felt this way for a bit until I realized it isn't replacing them....it's hard to feel bad about owning headphones when a company releases a new one that is double the price. Promise you that the lcd-2 will be minimally impacted in resale value by this announcement.

Interested to hear them

I really hope they've beefed up the amount of padding in the leather headband... The LCD-2 one certainly leaves a lot to be desired.

 at the price

the other lcd-3 thread is pretty good for those of you not checked it out yet      their scheme is going to make them some money quick that's probably for sure (since the lcd2 isnt that old at all) if the lcd3 is really any good!

Hopefully these live up to the billing.  Looking forward to reading impressions.

Well, i would've at least waited to see how people feel about them first. But now, it doesn't matter if people say they're worth it or not, I won't be getting them.

DAMN!! , they sure planned it . i have been thinking  ( all this 5 hrs, after i read about the LCD3) .
 
IF the LCD3 , Delivers! i mean if its really has the something like R10 / stax SR007 , DAMN it will SELL A LOT.
 
i mean all the people who like the LCD2 are potential customers, and more. there are not many who buy the STAX flagships ( 007/9  ) but i can see people buying LCD3 if its as good as the STAX.

Hate the new wood, would have preferred a new, more Stax-like metallic look, or just good old-fashioned black ....

And we will continue to buy them
 
I've already got the zebrano sieveking headphone stand, I guess that means that I have no other option than to get the LCD-3 just for the matching wood

It's disappointing to see they didn't do anything to revise the leather headband as it's actually less comfortable than the older foam one. Still, this could be a non-issue if the cups turns out to be much lighter. 
 
The $1995 price is interesting because it puts them above the other dynamic flagships straight into higher-end STAX territory. At that price-point, I do expect to see some MAJOR improvements.
