I have some I don't mind selling, I got to check what I have when I get home tonight, I bought a number of 6f8g from FrankI sometime ago.

Brilliant keep me posted - I will buy them off you in the coming weeks to coincide with the amp arriving. Send me a PM when you have the time 
 
Oh I see you have the Zu speakers. What is the pairing like with WA5? 
 
Thanks

  My mistake.  I was trying to figure out how to make that little character magiccabbage made and hit reply.

Purchased the HD 800 from Buysonic for $999 and they are to arrive tomorrow.
 
Currently have a Bifrost Uber paired with an Asgard 2 (with Wyrd) that I've been using to run HD 600s.
 
I have a Valhalla 2 ordered (still on backorder actually) that I'll use to start my HD 800 journey once it arrives.
 
Can't wait!! Spent the past several days reading this entire thread and my head is spinning ... feel like I'm stepping into a very deep pool!

  I use HD800. My WA5 will ship next week.  I have asked around. This seems to be regarded as a very good combo ¬
 
EML 300b - TS 6F8G - CV 593. 

So you will have the WA5 & Stratus in the near future ?

No I cancelled the Stratus. Will re consider it next year if I'm not satisfied with WA5/HD800 combo

Hi Justin,

i find the whole thing strange as i've had a call at 8am when my prices were too low by 95 cents.

 
What is MAP $ for the HD800?  Where's the cutoff?
 
Thanks,
 
Mike

I guess that would be :  Manufacturer advertised price
and for the HD800 it's around $1499.95 acc to their website.

So, Justin W. is saying that Sennheiser will not honor a warranty, even from an authorized dealer, if you paid less than 90% of $1499.95?  
 
That means no warranty for anyone who paid less than $1349.95 for their HD800.
 
Really?

$1499.95 is actually the Manufacturer Suggest Retail Price (MSRP)

Minimum Advertised Price (MAP)
is the agreed price a reseller agrees to advertise a brand or product at by contract which means if they sell it for under the agreed price they are breaking a legal contact. Bad for business.

What, this violates consumer protection law in the EU. Is this US only?

if you dont take bubble bath with your hd800 on, it will live longer than you...

Personally, I haven't owned my HD800 long but in all my time reading about them on head-fi I can't recall any problems with the HD800 that weren't attributed to user error and/or carelessness.
