open headphones AND speakers = Wow


I'm sure this is committing audiophile debauchery of some sort... but have you ever tried listening to your headphones and your speakers at the same time? I forgot to turn my bedroom amp off, so I was listening to my Senn 650 and my VS VR1 simultaneously. The sound is awesome! You get all the detail and the resolution from the headphones, but also get the body and "soundstage" from the speakers. Give it a try sometime, if you dare...

I have 650's as well, and think they are quite wonderful...  I have a dedicated amp for them which is fully balanced and use high end Cardas balanced cables for the connection.  I don't know if there is a speaker that is better.
Slapback echo...I’m surprised that’s not something bugging people, unless a "doubling" tone is what's desired.
