Yeah that’s what happened with my elegia and aeon 2 closed. I wasn’t expecting much from the elegia and then just like that, the aeon 2 was gone lol.

The aeon wasn’t bad but I just really enjoyed the elegia. It had that ‘it’ factor for me for a closed back. I’d love to hear the stellia.

I think I’ll be getting a Stellia in the next couple days or so… I’ll do a back to back with the Elegia when I do =)

Oof! Sounds like a plan! I’ll be curious to your take. I’ve heard it’s V shaped and different but still detailed. If it were in the clear price range I probably would have grabbed it over the clear and elegia. But then again I wouldn’t be looking at focals if it weren’t for my beloved elegia haha. I honestly didn’t need another open back like the clear but we’re here.

I have been looking for the next “better” headphone since I bought the Clears for $999.
HD880s, Anandas, etc and I keep coming back to the Clears…just amazing tonality…and paired with a my TUBA is just bliss here…so I think I an done for awhile…
Are there other cans out there as good or better…most likely but the overall perf on all kinds if stuff is just great here…
The TUBA amp is running wide open with little negative feedback and its a very nice accurate sound…
Great things come in Grey and Red and Black packages!!! lol

I’m really enjoying them. They have a very pleasantly accurate sound. They’re not perfect, but they’re damned good.
I have an an idea as to what my next headphone will be, most likely another planar (something about speed and fullness), but I’ll be upgrading my electronics first.
I definitely see myself adding another Focal, however. They’ve nailed low impedance efficiency, and I find myself wanting to have a pair with their infamous beryllium drivers…

Wowza! To clarify, the Crack you have now and recommend is with SB? I’m likely to get it without first in order to experience both.

I agree about separates.
I love my Asgard 3 but in the spirit of experimentation and community I might be willing to part with it!
