Comparing with and without the ExactPower EP15a the dynamics are weak, the midrange is recessed and the bass is not very well controlled straight from the wall in my particular system. I definitely agree that the 007t is the weak link. I intend to spend some time with alternative amps at the NYC meet next weekend to help in my decision of which amp manufacturer to get it line with. |
why does everyone quit dynamic headphone to go for Stax system? |

Next came an Denon d2000, which was quickly followed by a AKG K701 and a Beyer DT880. Guess what? I love them all, and I enjoy listening to a broad range of music much more than through the electrostats. I even started to wonder if I should keep speakers (Canton Vento Reference 5) and amp (Lyngdorf TDA2200+). The early designs (Jecklin, Superex) came with transformers, not amps. They used to blow my accuphase e 202 when driven a bit louder. The stax was nice and detailed, but lacked punch. The sennheiser had some of this but not enough due to a not so powerful amp. The dynamic phones I own now are much more fun to listen to, and its fun to change them once in a while and play around with amping (yulong DAH1 and meier corda2move at the time being, considering a grace m902). Just my 2 cents. |
