Wondering if the L700 is harder to drive then 009. I am new to Stax headphones and i want to buy the last and use it at the beginning only with M-03 portable electrostatic amplifier and later get a Stax energizer. Both 007 and 009 were driven with more then sufficient by this amplifier.
Unfortunately I cannot test the L700 near me, but maybe it will be present at the Indulgence show in London September 29- October 1.
I like the way you can replace the earpads quicker then 009.

I have no reference to 007/009. I'm sure my normal listening volume is likely lower than many, but at 2.5 out of 10 on 353X the volume of L700 is quite comfortable to my ears. Could go substantially lower if I wished.

How many of you believe that Stax 010 headphones will be revealed at CES 2018?

Mmm I don't think so, if I had to bet, probably in Autumn Tokyo Headphone Festival 2018, SR-009 was introduced in the 2010 edition of that festival

right now Lenard Bernstein Il Divo "Tonight"(live recording) lol any track sounds super euphonic on my current stax setup.
Stax HPs are 007 and L700. my 009 is now at Stax HQ to repair breaking wire (it happened again this year! darn lol)

The L700, and the rest of the new lambdas can be driven very easily on any amp, and in the case of the 009, it is much easier to drive than the 009. Bother are way easier to drive than the 007. If your amp going into your energiser has noise, the L700 will pick it up way more than the 007 or 009 because of efficiency differences,

Spritzer is always an option, but there are other options, Pokemonn.

I was in Tokyo this Easter and demo'ed Stax at Yodobashi in Akihabara. At the time and to my memory they had the SR009, SR007 as well as the LX00 models. Amp wise they had the SRM727, SRM007 and 353X.

I walked away with a 009 and a 727...

Edit:
Oh, also the E-earphones in Akihabara is worth a visit.
