Yeah, it's been a while since we've seen those sort of prices. 64 audio built their business on those sort of figures back in the day. I think Nick is gearing up for our first volunteer to spend and roadtest. Perhaps I don't need those filter ear plugs... and I should just go for a set of these... 😛
I feel there is a danger of a BC "fad" though... lets wait and see 😛
Nick spoke to me this morning and bizarrely enough I was listening through some inears this morning. The ACS really do have a really nice sound signature and really show up the short comings of the ZS10s. As I've stated before, they (the ZTs) are a little disappointing in terms of an honest sound (but maybe thats a good thing for onstage) - but I was intrigued to see that they appear to be tubeless. So that's quite interesting - because a - thats essentially what tia is... but without the proprietary drivers which is what I believe is key to 64s design. Remember though, tia is for treble... ZS just seem to have crammed a load of drivers in sans tubes and dampeners and I'm not really sure if much thought has gone into phase issues or resonance. I dunno. Maybe it explains why I find them so odd sounding... Anyway, must remember they were less than 40 quid!
