I think so, yes. 

 Ultrasone describes them perfectly on their website, the treble is slightly silky. And they carry the Ultrasone sound I came to love with the PRO2900s, minus the horribly metallic/painful treble.

Picky with amps though, being that most of the high end amplifiers these days are specilized in planars it's difficult to find an amp with LOW enough power for these. I'm constantly finding myself running the volume near the bottom of the pot where channel imbalance sets in. If only more manufacturers used digital volume control.. then again that would probably make it impossible to use analog sources.

 
Do they sound better than the Edition 10's? I sure hope so...

I have never heard the 10s and I'm not really inclined to either. I imagine they may be brighter than the 2900s.. *Shudder* In similar fashion to the PROs the 12 is picky. The best sounding 'amp' in the house is the simple op-amp circuit in an old CD player we have hanging around. Then again most amplifiers I've had the ability to try likely have had either too much gain or an impedance mismatch. One year with them and I'm still trying to figure out what gear to match them with(not that I have the cash to buy a bunch of stuff at once,) I can't imagine the 'right' high end amplifier/source would fall short or even be on the level of the old disc spinner.

I replaced my Sony 5400ES SACD with an Esoteric K-03--whoa! The level of details and shear realism are both just amazing.

Very Nice!

Next step is to upgrade the tubes in the WA6 - they look stock. My combo pictured here and its very nice with the HD800.

I'm drooling over that source. One day I'll have one...

Redid the speakers on my turn table setup. Much more tidy now

Here's my current setup. Sorry for the low quality picture, I'm not a great photographer. 
 
Really happy with it. It keeps me very happy for the most part. I do have a handful of other headphones that I use from time to time, but this takes up the main bulk of my listening nowadays.

Ya just had to post that after mine didn't you?!!! Nice setup, crazy...I have a lot of years ahead of me before I get to that level!

 

[hemipowered007]

Hey I just noticed the speakers. Those look like klh model sixes, which I own also, are they?

Nice collection! The spiderman is slightly disturbing.
