Yeah Lambda Pro and Lambda Signature are too different headphones.
 
WOOT! 5000 posts, 500 more than I'm outta here.

 
Are the Lambda Pro's any good?  I'm interested in another pair of STAX to compliment my SR-507.  I'd love to find a nice SR-Omega but I can't quite afford one just yet.

Yep they sure are but not as neutral as the other good headphones. They have one of the best bass reproduction out of the Lambda family, I and some others that have owned them like them. They are fairly laid back sounding (not to the extent of the O2 or LCD2/3's) but very enjoyable with excellent detail retrieval. 
 
People who have owned the LP+SRM1 MK2 + ED-1 diffuse field equaliser say it is a very good sounding combination. But I personally found them sounding the best on a T1S amp, it just mellows out that treble out a bit. 
 
imo I wouldn't say it complements the 507 very well as they all sound similar in one way or another but my preference goes to the LP by a wide margin on sound. For looks the 507 wins in this regard.

I would have thought the newer drivers of the 507 would give better detail and overall performance.  Would $350 be a fair price for the Lambda SR-Pro in good condition?  

 

[DefQon]

Newer does not equal better. You'd find that most who have heard owned the new and old Stax prefer the older stuff and not much people here fancy the 507.
 
$350 for a good condition LP is bang on the money of its value and average selling price.

Yea, it's a pretty good price. So good that I'd probably  take it if you didn't

Lol someone hasn't learnt there lesson. How's the channel imbalance? Getting noticeably better? According to another person who had the same issue, once the channel intermittently goes channel imbalanced now and then it mean's it is almost at 100% health.

Hmm. I guess it's doing that. It's also buzzing and hissing in that channel though.... so I'm worried about that.

Yeah my 404 was like that as. Just let it keep playing.

Speaking of channel imbalance. I'm so happy mine didn't turn out to be anything to do with the headphones. Turns out feeding a differential amp with only the negative leg of the signal and not grounding the positive leg leads to way less volume and buzzing in the side effected >.>

How would the Stax owners here rate their top 3 favorites in the Lambda series?

Yep sold it off because there was no way I was going to leave them playing for 2 weeks straight and there was another 404 with org box floating on yahoo Japan for a good price.

Since I haven't heard the Sig's.
 
My list would be
 
1. LNS/LP
2. 202/404/303/Nova Classic/Basic/Lambda/ESP-950
3. 207/407
...
...
5. 507 and some really weird sounding LP I purchased last year, think it was a Lambda Pro Classic or something.
