I prefer the SR009s over the SR007s by a good margin (especially over the SR007 MKII). And the SRM727II was my first amp with the SR009s and I thought it was a darn good pairing. Enough to obliterate my HD800/LCD-3s from my GS-X. That said, they SR009s did improve on imaging, detail, clarity and control since I picked up my HeadAmp KGSS.
The lesser setup seems very prudent, but I'm not sure. I might end up just selling it and going for the TOTL Stax in the end. It is the journey though.
Some more background: With the SR-007 I was thinking about the 727II and I was already to go for that combo, but then read the the non-NFB design was sort of sucky, and then I read the unmodded 727 was OK with the SR-009. After about 200 pages of comments here and at other forums, looking at the mod, etc. I got very confused. I take it that amp design for electrostatics is far more important than dynamics, but I'm unsure of the physics behind this.
Would those who have heard the SR-009 with an unmodded SRM-727II consider it a good choice for acoustic music? It's 7K'ish worth of audio gear so I would think so!
It seems that the SR-007 is really not worth it? ... I should just get the SR-009 or a Lambda?
Thanks for pointers. Also, I'm super serious about this and would not have to ask questions if I could actually listen to a setup. No one sells Stax where I live. I was thinking of travelling to actually hear the gear first!
