Thanks Purrin, that's interesting to know. I would have liked to see how removing the cups would change the perception of speed and sound signature if this was not a limited model. Also out of curiosity, how does the W3000ANV's speed compare to the Fostex TH900's?
Difficult to compare since the AD2000 is an open headphone and the W3000ANV is closed where some of the back wave gets piped back to the front through vents around around the driver. Also the AD2000 has early bass rolloff, so this contributes to it sounding fast as well.
When I had the AD2000, I disassembled the W3000ANV driver and listened to it. It sounded just as fast as the AD2000, but had more resonances.
Here is a comparison of the impulse responses. AD2000 vs. W3000ANV baffle (cup removed). I guess the AD2000 could be slightly faster at accelerating. Although I can't be sure. My rig isn't high rez enough to get down to the nitty gritty. The W3000ANV certainly has more issues with decay at specific frequencies.
