In Reply to: How many have replaced systems with headphone systems? posted by Ozzy on May 2, 2016 at 07:45:14:
a Stax electrostatic ear speaker based system. You can get a used set of Lambda Nova Signature headphones for around $500 and a used or new Stax amplifier for anywhere between $500 and $1500. An acquaintance of mine listened to my Stax system (which, granted, costs more - modded Stax SR007 Mk II and my home-built SRX Plus tube amp), then bartered for a set of used Stax Lambda Pros and a used Stax T1 amp and sold his modified Sennheiser 800s within a week saying that he couldn't listen to the Senns any more. He is also selling his Magnepan-based system in favor of the Staxes.
