Why did they ever stop using the laquer finish from the w2002/w11/w10, even the w1000 in favor of the plain wooden finish of the w5000?

Consequences being that not only does AT pull out all the stops for their LE items, but the delicacy of the finish is more acceptable there as well. There's no indication that the L3000 was AT's last LE full sized audiophile headphone, so let's just wait and see before deciding they've given up on that finish. |
