dhwilkin, it is kinda strange. Yes, I paid $50 shipped for the SR-100s. There's a few reasons why I use them more, and its not necessarily because they sound better, because they don't. First of all, they're hanging on the wall (easy to reach) while the RS-1s are in the box. Secondly, they are extremely non-fatiguing and have a similar sonic character to the HP-1s, which I just love, the midrange in particular is very similar. And thirdly, as the weather is nice now, a lot of my listening is portable and I don't want to bang up the RS-1s.
Wow, you use the SR-100 more than the RS-1? Didn't you pay under $100 for those? |
