Best Late Night Low Volume Speaker

No, its not SEO, but CEC or Corrupt Editorial Content.

Thank you,

Good point, so what would you suggest?

Podeschi,

Just checking out the reviews and price tag for the Beyerdynamic gear, I guess I probably haven't yet experienced really good headphones!

Wisynet, wow I thought I was pretty familiar with most audio brands and components, but off the top of my head, the "Zu Soul Superfly" might not have been on my short list with say, Proacs, Harbeths and Quads.

Just curious - does anyone have any idea why every time I Google a wackily named audio component that someone is raving about, one of the first hits is invariably www.6moons.com?

Glad to see others are interested in the late night "application" and thank you for replies so far.

Regards,

OB is for "open baffle"? Single driver, crossoverless speakers?

This is an interesting topic if you have any links, dealers or more information, please.

Thank you for your reply and I am glad you enjoy your headphones.

I have never had any super high end headphones, and have always wanted to try a pair of Stax electostatic headphones.

But I have had a few pairs of Grados, Etymotics, and Sennheiser 580s. I also have one of the original Headroom headphone amps, as well as the Grado headphone amp.

And although I enjoy them for working out, on airplanes, maybe for falling asleep and/or a trippy listen of Pink Floyd or something once in a while, I otherwise don't really get headphones.

I don't like the "orchestra in the head" feeling. Headphones don't image like speakers; I invariably find them uncomfortable after a while, and they lack a certain palpable, visceral quality that I perceive even with mini monitors on my desktop at low volume.

Of course, no speaker allows you to listen next to someone else without hearing them, and headphones on a per dollar basis are a better value.

In the end, Harbeth P3SERs and the Silverline Minuets are on my short list for further auditioning.
