QUOTE(yrh0413 @ Mar 4 2007, 02:51 PM) i still prefer headphones, honestly. I can play games with my headphones on my head, walk around with my headphones on my head, and the sound quality is there. Having a hifi set means i need to consider room acoustics, and i don't like to force myself to sit down on the sofa facing the speakers. Moreover when i argue with my gf i can always put on my headphones to isolate her voice, but you cant do that with speakers. There are pros and cons. For a good set of speaker to reach the K701 level of quality, you need to spend about 10K?+-? (room ascoutic etc). It's about 10x of the price. And headphones are definately more portable whenever we go aboard working etc. The cons are you need to wear something on your head and you cant share your music. |

wth, haha! even a cmoy cannot power the k701..sounds like shiet..but grado can rn unamped just okay..not very okay but still acceptable la, even a ms2i would sound like a RM100 headphone instead of k701 sounding like a rm20 headphone.

wow justone, don't tell me you don't own any headamp? the EMU0404 is capable to drive the K701 but it sounds really terrible. No bass at all, friggin' sharp on high keys... soundstage is still there, fortunately. But then it sounded so shiet that you won't even enjoy it.  Wee, anyone wanna give me some suggestions on my next amp? Currently i have one in mine (ijan dun tell anyone please ), but i'm still opening up for other recommendations. This gonna be the best birthday present i ever bought for myself  |
