Should I trade my RS-1 for MS2i/325i/RS-2? Any disadvantages of the RS-1s?

Other than HCM audio, does any other vendor include these items in the sale price?(RS-2 also gets extra stuff through them too!)

I don't believe that including all that other stuff is normal through the majority of retailers.

.....it is a good deal though.

Not a whole lot of folks; but a significant enough number to indicate that there is enough of a difference in the sound of the two sets of cans to win over a few listeners to the RS-2 side.

I'll take the RS-2's over the RS-1's (on my equipment) any day of the week. Much more full and pleasant sounding for extended listening.

It sounds like you need SA5000 or AD2000.
