Because a good Stax system costs much more than a good dynamic headphone rig.

Originally posted by Eagle_Driver Actually, the under-$1000 Stax systems are underperformance models, based on the system prices. I tried one of their full-sized models for that under-$1000 price, and I wasn't impressed one bit. |
Originally posted by Spent&Bent I do not understand... are you saying if bought from audiocubes at a reduced price, compared to brick&mortar...these systems perform not as well even though they have the same looks?? |
Originally posted by Eagle_Driver I have tried Staxes that sell in brick-and-mortar stores in the US for under $1000. They just simply perform no better than dynamic headphones that sell for half their price. |
Originally posted by NeilPeart The Stax 3030 and above are the only systems worth considering, as the ones below simply cannot compete with a good dynamic combo, IMHO. The 3030 is around $1500, and that system does perform pretty well. However, I feel many other dynamic combos can perform as well or better than the 3030 system for quite a bit less dough. |

Originally posted by Iron_Dreamer Yep they are on the next mail truck out of here. No harsh feelings. Especially after another go-round with Ed's HD600, I was convinced that was where I needed to be. |
