In Reply to: New Stax model SR-X1 coming soon posted by kh6idf on February 12, 2024 at 07:21:24:
Ended up returning them. Nowhere near as good as the SR-5.
I used SR-207 cans for a while until the left transducer got funky. Loved them. Enormous soundstage, incredible imaging.
But even my ancient SR-5 are terrific.
The SR-X1 looks like the headband and yokes from the old SR-5 but with different "speaker" units. I'm guessing they're Pro bias. Doesn't matter, I can power either Normal or Pro. Might consider a pair.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
