Well It's March. Still no Senn Heaven. I think that they should refund 10.00 a day for having to wait.

Guys I need your opinion... I found an offer for Gallo reference speakers 3.1 with a quad 909 amp all together for £1500. HD800 cost 1000. I dont know which one to buy!!! doh!!! The best headphone or one of the best speakers for it's class... Any suggestions??? |

They are just as Jude described. On a 15 minute listen they sounded sublime. I guess will really show-off a great front end too but not the easiest load. Senn's rig at the show was Sennheiser HD800 - Grace m902 - Nagra CDC. I think UK RRP is £1000 |

In this case, this should stay below about 47 ohms if we say we want to allow a .5 dB deviation of frequency response - not very demanding. If we are to believe the 102 dB SPL @ (1 kHz, 1 Vrms) spec, they should be about as loud as HD600s. Overall, nothing for a Euro-capped MP3 player (too quiet) or power-amp-tapped headphone jack (frequency response off), but otherwise not terribly demanding either. How they fare in practice, we'll see^Whear. |

If you don't mind, it would be nice to hear if there was something particular you noticed when listening to them, or what comes to mind now that you think back on your session. Thank you. |
