Exactly how much better are the L3000 than the 1000 and 5000 anyway? I have been lookin their way, but I'm not buying something expensive just because its clad in leather. How much better does it sound? I am willing to pay the $ for good sound.
I listened to both the L3000 and W5000 the same night, and it was like night and day. The W5000 carried several of the traits that I did not like in the Ax00 series. I did not care for them at all. As such, I expected to not like the L3000, I figured I was an open-AT only guy. Couldn't be more wrong... the L3000 is without a doubt the best headphone wrapped around my head, and the same night I also got to play with K1000, GS1000, HP-1... pretty much all the heavy hitters besides the Orpheus were there. To put it plainly, if I had the sufficient funds, I would buy them in a heartbeat if I found them. The W5000, I simply would not buy. No matter how cheap they were or how much I had to spend, it would not be a headphone I'd have any desire to own.
