when I googled SR-L700 I got this hit:
http://sopp06.blogspot.ca/2015/10/news-stax-sr-l700-sr-l500-srm-353x.html
They show a price of 135,000 Yen..which is about twice the current price for a SR-507 from PriceJapan.com. Which puts it about halfway between the SR-007 and the SR-507 perhaps?
So I wonder, are they supplementing their product range or replacing the SR-507?
cheers

The SR-L500 seems to be at about the same price point as the SR-507's.
So is the SR-L500 a 'new 507' and the SR-L700 a 'better 507'?
I emailed the U.S. importer asking for info but of course they never reply to emails. Not in my experience, anyway.

They say the SR-L700 will be available in early November and is replacing the 507 'in a few months'.
Can't wait to see the prices on these new models....
Oh, and the 323S amp is being replaced by the 323X, better S/N, frequency extention and xlr inputs.

I was thinking about picking up some 507s to supplement the SR-404s that I have had for a number of years. I heard the SR-507s at the audio show here in Toronto last year...they sounded better than the SR-009s! But I suspect that this had a lot to due with the Stax amp they were paired with not being up to the standard of the SR-009s...
Rumour is that some materials (parts?) used in the SR-009 drivers will be use in the new SR-L700s...even with a higher price than the SR-507s the new 'phones may be great on a price/performance basis. I am quite excited about this, can't wait to hear the new phones!
thanks,
Grant
