After hearing the Stax lineup on a recent trip to Japan, I knew I had to get hold of some electrostatics for long term evaluation. My budget dictated used...and older models to boot.
I've ended up with both SRXmk3's and Lambda SR-A's. Both being driven by energizers not dedicated Stax amps. I have to say I'm amazed at what 1970's technology sounds like.
Music sounds like real music. Timbre is spot on...good recordings sound amazing, bad recordings not so much. I really don't have any desire to go newer or more expensive. And I have to say every other headphone I own or have owned or listened to sounds broken.
I should say that I have a pretty good source and line stage/amp ahead of the energizer...I don't know that it would sound as good with something not up to snuff.
Crazy good sound for not crazy money.
