Your right and I did. UGGH! A step backward in my opinion. Recently I was fortunate to email to a Japaneese fellow about them, after finding him on a Japaneese web site. He claims that the EX700LP's were engineered and made way ahead of the EX500LP's. What they learned from the sound success from the engineering of the EX300LP's which was taken to even further heights with the EX500LP's, the 500's just might have been denoted as the "top of the line" with different numbering of course, rather than the 700's. And according to the ears of the masses of Japaneese people buying them all, the 500's are "top O line", as far as they are concerened.
Why did not Sony just then make the 500's, lets say EX800LP's? Well it it therorized by this gentleman that by engineerings end of the 500's the economic slump was well underway. This sound and it's current street prices would make people "sit up and listen" to Sony. And it's abundant sales would carry them through (by volume) till better times hit again. So they let it ride "as is".
However that is just how one Japaneese person asseses the story.
I broke in the EX700LP's for 48 hours at 75% volume on a diet of 70's rock n roll. It made a huge difference to the better. However they are still not to my likeing. Anybody want to buy a slightly used pair of EX700LP's for $180 shipped?
