Guys, no top tier stuff. HD-800 and LCD-2 are a "no". I loved the HD-800 but I can't drop a grand on just the headphones. As for the LCD-2, I didn't enjoy it that much at the last meet. It was good but the lack of soundstage was criminal for $1000, I thought.
The only TOTL can I'm sorta looking at is the T1 because a lot of reviews seem to prefer them to be all arounders as opposed the the HD800's analytical. But even so I am still a student and have future expenses to look forward to so I don't want to blow everything on this last hurrah.
Will the HF-2 scale well with a better amp? Would I be better off trading down to an HD650 or K702 and getting something beefy like a Burson HA-160 or Woo6?
personally, i went back to the T1 and will be sticking with them and the hd650. ive tried the lcd2, hd800 (which i really liked but prefer the all around-ness of the t1), hf2, gs1000, and a collection of other headphones. in the end, it wasnt what other ppl thought about the t1, its what i thought about it.
ive also said that if i hadnt purchased the t1, i would be happy with the hd650. thats with my setup though. its different for everyone since they like different things.
either way, youll always wonder. purchase used on the forum try it, and resell it for minimal loss.
