@ghdprentice I’m fine, a sore knee and neck but nothing serious, thank you. Unfortunately, I am without a headphone amp and I’m reliant on the plug input on the front of my amplifier. However, I may enjoy good results regardless. If the Focal Cle...

Keith Carlock is also a jazz drummer who plays rock. Or rather a drummer who plays whatever he must. My favorite bands with him is with Wayne Krantz on guitar.

@ghdprentice I have a highly thought of amp but still I'm under the impression that certain headphones/speakers match better than others and I can only afford one pair of headphones. But yesterday my car was totaled from a hit and run accident so ...

@yage I wanted to get away from planar headphones as I have Quad Electrostatic Speakers and wanted something different.

I’m sorry for not mentioning this but I am looking for a pair of open backed headphones. My understanding of the differences between the two may be mistaken but when I’ve had the chance to hear headphones at the dealer, I’ve preferred the open to ...

@larsman I've read a few reviews on the Focal Clear MG's and it seems like they've really made improvements over the original Clear's, one being detail. One thing I'm really wondering about the Focal's is whether or not the treble frequencies can ...
