Yes, I recently and briefly have heard the HE90, not with the matcing HE90V, but with a Gilmore Electrostatic and it sounded damn good, don't get me wrong I love speakers but I have yet to find a speaker that has the same amount of detail as a good pair of headphones. I love to watch movies on our home theatre system and hear the floor rumble and quake but whenever I listen with headphones I just feel like I'm hearing more of what's actually there than with the speakers, mind you they aren't $2000 speakers the whole package only costed around $1000 when they were purchased but they still can't even match my HD650s which are only $300 headphones. Bottom line is if I had the money, the space in my bedroom, and didn't care about my parents or the neighbors I would switch over to speakers in a flash however, unfortunately I feel that under $2000, headphones will always outperform comparably priced speakers.
