ok Stax Mafia I have recently acquired the 4070s and the O2 mkl and they are both outstanding! Right now I am rationalizing keeping both as yesterday I thought the 4070 was better but today the O2 is the clear winner. Don't trust a word I say I tell ya, good thing none of you did anyway.
My O2s though are farty as heck is that just the seal breaking against my slightly sweaty shaved head? Would replacement pads help or do I just need to sit still while I listen? Details abound with both of these Stax, I had hoped to sell one of them but may wind up keeping both for the moment...
I just ordered the zagg invisible shield, hope it delivers as promised. I'll likely get a padded case for travel not sure what yet but I'll drink a few growlers and hit amazon.
You made 5 or so posts without any consideration of the new member PM you received, then wondered why you were "targeted". By the way your use of the word targeted tells me all I need to know about you.
Oh and the JH13s are all that and a bag of chips. I keep vacillating between getting and not getting the 16s but I am concerned that if the bass is tipped up it may wind up being too much of a good thing.
I could have gone for slightly larger screen size, Apple probably considered the size of the pad vs weight given you have to hold it or balance it to prop it up.
Last night I watched like 5 episodes of Dollhouse on netflix instant and thought the quality was fantastic
I do believe you were right there with me kissing HD800 ass my friend and as for the 404 le I think (but could be wrong booze being what it is) that I qualified the statement based on price/performance.
I am pretty happy with the O2's but after the 4070s arrive two enter the cage but only one shall remain in Carlisle
My O2 mkls have just arrived from Japan in great shape and sounding sweet. While I know east/west coast representation has ranked them third overall in the Stax world, they are floating my boat.

Mike and Al, if you are using the metric halo/sonic dac/adcs, you can turn your wireless keyboard into a remote for the monitor console. Yes, rowmote pro is good as an airmouse and rowmote does an ok job as a remote for amarra.
The owner of the store is a Magnepan dealer and strongly supports the line I have to assume he has what he feels is a reasonable set up to represent a favorite of his. I do however do think that a better amp may improve the bass and imagining of the 1.7s. I did like them and hope my comment s do not come off as a bash I was just not bowled over once I level set with my speakers upon my return home.
