I just go to PMC to audition some stuffs and brwose through their iPods. I discovered a lot of artists there. ;D

For me, I love the original ATH-PRO700, so I'm excited to hear the MK2.

PMC should be avoided when it is clear they are price gouging - I wouldnt mind inviting them here to explain their rates and how they are good value when I know the distributor price to them from the local suppleir.

FYI - the P5 being sold in shangri-la (forgot shop name) at 21k - well distributor price is 16k and that is SRP retail price in the US, so the local shop thinks its ok to sell at an extra 5k or $120 just for you..
that's why the ath-m50 are selling like hotcakes!  ;D
If only I have enough ears to listen more..

If the P5 was sold as same price in the US it would be 12k.. competitive but in a competitive niche with the m50 and probably the mk2 -can't wait to demo the mk2 :)

got to audition my bro in law's pro700,bass wise it really had punchy bass, compared to xb500(punchy but dissipates,quite rumbly, i think.., pro700 forward, compared to xb500 laid back... better clarity and instrument separation for pro700, but xb500 just has a wider soundstage compared to pro700 =)
