I vote to discontinue this thread. I like the rs-2 better but i won't vote to discontinue the rs-1. The gs-1000 sounds different. It's like a hd600 and hd650 thing.

Originally Posted by nabwong Yeah, but people forget that the 600 and 650 are only in the $200+ and $300+ bracket. The grados are twice the cost. The leap from rs-2 to rs-1 is $200 and another $200 to the GS-1000. Btw, love your avatar. |
