Okay, maybe they haven't officially rolled out the ASG-2 yet, fellas, although they have been selling them. There may be some photos on the Aurisonics Appreciation thread, but I'm having trouble finding them on the net. They pretty much look like the As-2, except they have tips on the end and are a universal fit in the ear. I'll keep searching.

waynes world the ASG-2 site you found is in Japan. They are eating them up their and don't mind paying that $600 there. I've seen the ASG-2 sell for as low as $300 here during some special promotions, but the sound is warranted the $600 MSRP (if you think the Shure and Phonak and Westone top of the line prices are fair).

From initial impressions of the ASG-2, I feel the same way, they'll put up a good fight against the Phonak and Westone (all at their MSRP price, 600 and 500 respectively).  Won't know for sure though, I do wish I could have a little more time with the ASG-2.

I'm tempted, but want to give it a couple of months for reviews and the hopefully 30-40% off list.

Eric, I am pretty sure you would be very happy if you got the ws99's - they are awesome. Yes, they have similar bass characteristics to the 1k's, but sound sufficiently different that I personally can't go for too long without needing to listen to them. They are particularly impressive with electronic bass oriented music. The 1k's are a bit more of an "in your head" experience which is very exhilarating, whereas the ws99's are a bit less intense but just as addictive, with this huge extended bass being the key enveloping component, but balanced very nicely with smooth mids and treble. It is highly recommended that you complete your ath trifecta with them!
