would you guys consider Magnums "summit fi"? if so, those sound fantastic unamped

Summit-fi is code for very expensive, it's not about the sound quality.

oh. never mind then. haha.

Nonsense. He who spends the most always has the best sounding gear. Anyone who's spent that much should know.

TH-900 and K812 are the best to me in that regard. Ultimately I prefer the Fostex.

lol i don't know about that. unless you're being facetious

Better a used Denon D5000 with J$ pads if you're going unamped. That way you only pay 400-500$, there's NO need to pay 2000$ for the TH900.
Or a CD3000 - that's way better sounding - if you can find one that still works and doesn't sound like crap. I have to warn you, most of them are fizzy decaying husks by now, the CD3000's, but if you can find a (L)NIB one, jump on it.

Getting it for $1250.... Not saying where though

Was selling it to get a sr009 but I'm not any more. Got to many planars and dynamics now to do that.

What's your take on all the things you've got there? Liquid Glass and HD800 / LCD-3 sounds like a killer combo. Why would you even consider moving to SR-009? Just curiosity?

IMO the hd-800 is the winner hands down. The lcd-3 is more natural but the detail and resolution of the hd800 eats up the lcd-3.

Wanted the sr009 just to try it with a liquid lightning.

Interesting, that's pretty much how I feel as well. I prefer my HD800 and a bit of EQ to make it more neutral/natural (take away peak at 6k Hz, add a touch of bass) but then it bests the LCD-3 for me personally.
 
The thing that really sealed the deal for me personally between those two is the soundstage. I love the HD800 soundstage and the LCD-3 feels too cramped for me. Others might feel differently.
 
Thanks for the feedback.
