Mahkook,
good luck, and i look forward to hearing your impressions once you get your hands on it finally
I'm glad to see a little more information starting to come out on this little system, it definitely sounds like it's worth checking out.
as far as the durability of the wood, i don't know much, but i know that during the stamping process the wood sheets undergo a series of treatments. I would imagine that one of the points of those treatments would be to increase durability. The largest wooden cones that they've come up with so far is 11cm, i'm sure that a large factor in that size limit is cone durability. But all i really know is that i want one
I also considered an ASL UHC to go with one of these, but i figure i'll wait and see how well the headphone out actually does by itself. I expect that i'll primarily use headphones with the EX-A1 for movie watching and i'm a lot less picky when it comes to movies.
