Congratulations! =D Guys, I'll be the last one to get these for sure... But oh my, those look really nice. IMO better than W11JPN, which is gorgeous too.

ATH W3000-ANV vs LCD3 anyone?

If you understood the allure of an ATH woodie, it would be comparing apples and oranges.
But maybe I'll compare with the Stax O2 in terms of ambient detail retrieval, but I don't expect an open headphone to be as organic sounding.

 

[rhythmdevils]

Yeah..... I'm not sure how a closed dynamic ATH is supposed to compete against a fully open TOTL stax or ortho.  someone's going to get their feelings hurt.  And I don't think it will be Mr. Stax or Mr. Ortho.

Googleli should buy the W3000ANV and report back.
 
I'm on the fence with these since they are $1500 and I can't afford Ferraris and Gucci man-purses.

My friends tell me collecting Ferraris gets dull. The fun is in collecting airplanes and Audio Technica woodies.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks an LCD-3 and W3000ANV review seems rather pointless. 

 
Anyway, my W3000ANV has been sitting at home since this morning. BUT! I have some exams to grade tonight, and I have to exercise willpower and wait until tomorrow morning to open them. 
 
Trust me... with how bad I'm thinking my students did, it would just put a damper on the experience anyway. 

 
Initial impressions to come in 12 hours or so.
 
(PS. PriceJapan says my amp will ship in a few days.)

 

[wind016]

Great! Congrats OP and MuppetFace!
 
Not sure whether to buy the amp. I'll wait for impressions from each of you about it.

Finally, someone said it!

 

[wind016]

There's no similarity between a man purse and the W3000ANV. None whatsoever.

 

[MuppetFace]

I think a lot of ladies would be intrigued by a man walking around with a purse made of lacquered wood that played music.

W3000 ANV vs Thunderpants anyone?
