As do I, but my thoughts on the LCD2 went much further than just preference

If I had the money, I would stick with the HD800 and never look back. I have yet to hear what it is truly capable of, I simply was unsuccessful in pairing it with the right amp and source. My experience with it was limited, I never owned it, I've heard it a few times with subpar amplification and a poor source and still enjoyed the hell out of it. If not the HD800, then the He500 would be my next choice as a keeper. I'm done with hifi, most companies refuse to take my advice and insist on making them super inefficient and gigantic, therefore they will not receive my business. If I were to win the lottery, the Hd800 and one of Schiits new amps would be first on my list.
