manisandher Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 What an excellent review - thanks for sharing Chris. I'm totally gutted that my beloved AKG-K1000s only came 19th. But I have to say that I've never heard the 'rattle' that David Mahler mentions. I wonder where they would have come without the rattle... In any event, fed a decent source driven by a Berning Siegfried 300B, I get the most musically satisfying sound I've ever heard in any HP/speaker system anywhere. If the other HPs really are better than the K-1000s, they must be amazing. Mani.

manisandher Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Dale, I'm more than happy to bow to your superior experience here. I had the Berning amp lying around doing nothing and thought I'd try it with the K-1000s. I'm not sure if it's the best match ever, but this pairing certainly makes beautiful music. If you're aware of another amp I should try with the K-1000s let me know. Cheers, Mani.
