CAL! 2 isn't fostex/foster based anymore. It lost the magic without those drivers. Just like the newer denons that replaced the d1001s sucked. I loved those d1001s by the way. A less bassy version of the CAL!s using the same exact drivers and almost the same enclosure. I think the pads were the biggest factor for the difference in sound between the Creative and the Denon.

Sennheiser HD439. I have one (very clean condition) and willing to give away this if it gets reviewed.


Edit: Nevermind, realized HD439 is less than 99 bucks.

The KRK is worth a listen; it often gets overlooked. I doubt you'll like it Marv because the treble is kind of crisp. Also, the stock cable bears lots of noise. But let the voters decide.

OK. Locking this thread. Will start a poll soon to narrow down to 7-8 choices.
