Price is going to depend on the specs of 800S. Can be higher or lower then 800.

I've always been scared away from the HD800 because of the impressions that hint at it being relentless and not very emotional. Here's to hoping this new model gives it a bit more musicality
HD650 almost double the price as HD600, why? Those are pretty much equal quality, just a different flavor. Also that 250 would be too close to HD598 imo.
I don't see why there should be a substantial price hike with the HD800S. It's pretty much the same old thing. The only reasonable and FAIR thing would be to lower price on the original and sell the S for standard HD800 price.
The HD800 is warmer than people give it credit for. This is thanks to a modest mid-bass hump and upper midrange depression. The HD800 has a warm tilt from 100hz to 5khz.
Strange to have so much anxiety without even having demoed the HD800

Matt how is mj2 pairing with the 800?? Which tubes are you using with them??Actually, I like the hd800 best on my mjolnir2 fully balanced. But in an evil twist of irony, I'll have to sell the mjo2 to afford the 800s.

The mjo2 is an exceptional and the fact that it pairs so well with the hd800 shows that it's not just a tube amp with lot's of muscle, but that it's able to demonstrate refinement as well. Currently I'm using a pair of NOS Philips SQ gold pin.
I'm working hard to find a way to keep the mjo2.
Thanks matt! Any input on the stock tubes and lisst??
What also surprises me, is the number of times I read a review on here about HP's or IEMs that states they are punching way above their price bracket. I do feel that such a state is now the new normal and that we're actually seeing the beginnings of the point where quality is more commoditised, and accessible to those with slimmer wallets.
