Well, this is rather ironic. Just yesterday, I was the one saying the price difference between the A900 and A900LTD was not worth it, and that the A900LTD was only marginally better than the A900. Today, I just pulled the trigger on the A900LTD ($350) -- and I already have the A900 ($189). My wallet is really hurting right now, because not even two days ago, I also pulled the trigger on a PA2V2 and a cardas hpi interconnect ($67 total). And oh my sweet jesus in heaven. I just added that all up, it's over $600!!! Of course, I will sell my A900's as soon as I get the LTDs, and I will also probably have to end up selling my Klipsch ProMedia Ultra 5.1 speakers as well, which is actually not so bad, I hardly ever use them anymore and they take up A LOT of space in the small room that they're in. I'll also probably try selling my MDR-XD400. But still, this is a LOT of money here.
I know it pales in comparison to the guys here who have multiple high end cans, expensive amps, or even the HE-90s
But still, to me it's way more than I should be spending on headphones. I do use my headphones extensively, so it's not like I'm getting these to sit and gather dust -- far from it, most days I use my headphones for over 3 hours. All the things I was reading about how the A900 did not have as detailed bass as the LTD, and how they had "back-seated" mids, I had been passing over. But just today, I sat down and took a careful listen. I can't say much about the bass, but as I listened armed with my new knowledge, the back seated mids became apparent to me, and I didn't care for it.
The best mids I have ever heard, came from the Shure E4. To date, I have not heard anything that came even close to the mids of the E4. Does the A900LTD have mids similar to those of the E4? If they do, that would be very comforting for me to know. Please, tell me all the advantages of the A900LTD over the A900, it will help me feel better about the purchase. Also, I have searched google and head-fi, but I can't seem to find any quality pictures of the A900LTD. Could you guys do me a favor and post some high-res or otherwise good quality pictures of the A900LTD? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks a lot guys.
