I got tired of looking at my Stax Lambda Pros sitting on the Stax headphone stand. My Stax SRM1/Mk II estat amp has been in need of another trip to be fixed. I have been considering another estat headphone amp.I dropped $1600 on the Woo Audio GES. I have read glowing reports on that estat amp and figured it was time to spend something on my estat headphones that I have owned since Christmas of 1990.
To be fair I did send my SRM1/MkII amp out for repair 8 years ago but I have had the bug to do something about my estat headphones. After I try out the GES I may upgrade to the L700 or, if I really lose what mind I have left, I will go for the SR-009S.
After dropping that kind of dough I will be obliged to upgrade the amp too but...one thing at a time.
I knew this would eventually happen.

I went and bought the new SR-L700 MkII earspeakers. I am listening to them now and I can tell you without hesitation that they are a step up from the Focal Clears and the Schiit Lyr 2 amp.
The L700 MKII are being driven by the new Woo Audio GES.

I got interested in IEM earphones after buying several FiiO digital players. In fact, I've purchased several different IEM earphone models made by FiiO. Some of the FiiO earphones have as many as 5 or 6 drivers in each earpiece. They usually have one dynamic moving coil driver augmented by between 2 and 5 Knowles Balanced Armature drivers. Recently, FiiO came out with a new earbud style earphone with only one moving coil driver, but it sounds absolutely spectacular. I think it sounds slightly better than my Koss ESP/950 electrostatic headphones. At least it has more bass and the midrange and highs sound just as natural and realistic. If you want to hear one of the best sounding earbud style earphones I've ever heard, check out the FiiO EM5 Hi-Res Earbud style earphone at the link below:

Great, the Woo GES should sound great...great rep and good tube rolling options.
I'm looking at a SPL H/A....SS.
