This question have been bugging me for a while now. I'll qualify it by saying I know in the best of all possible worlds I would be able to audition each rig I'm considering. But to make it a meet where both these types of high end rigs are on display would eat up a substantial part of my budget for said amp. In the real world I will have to make to with a lot of research. To begin, I'm wonder for those that either have electrostatic or balanced dynamic headphone rig, how did you choose which path to go down? If you have both, what types of music to you find yourself gravitating toward? I'm trying to pin down a method for choose which path to follow when I make a big upgrade in 2010. I'm considering for the moment--and this is why it's in the high end forum--either the Eddie Current Balancing Act or O2mk2 with KGBH LE. The only applicable difference I can see is that with the BA, I can use the D7000, HD800 and my beloved AD2k, so I can switch it up for the types of music I listen to/mood etc. (about 30% rock/alternative/folk, 40% classical, and 30% House and Hip Hop). Is the KGBH LE too constrictive for multiple genres? On the other hand, it is very appealing to own the KGBH LE and know I own a really premier piece of equipment that only comes around every so often in the audio world. How did my fellow head-fi'ers decide?
