I felt the same, fingers on the trigger! My contact told me last night that those who listened during the SZ Audio Show recently that EJ09 sounded way better than z1r!!! (Holding my beer just for the time being...)The EJ09 with the options for faceplates and up grades are gonna get my cash eventually. I love the faceplate style thats exactly like the conductor and somehow someway I’ll get these babies!!
Love thisobsessionhobby!!!
For now I’m holding back, waiting for more feedback from folks here and hopefully @fjlabs got his on around Sat! Just from FR angle, it’s definitely an upgrade to EJ07 - a lot more energy in treble and bass looks great too (although mids does not seem as smooth as 07)
At least this is not (yet) Traillii $$$ territory as this is about as much I can logically agree to spend on
