Wow...that's quite a history regardless of which side your on. Just curious to anyone who has tried these...what would you compare them to?

A.kempersThey are more coherent than CA Vega and Andromeda and outdo the outstanding bass of the Shure SE846 to my ears. I never have been a fan of the Baker's Dozen multi-BA sound, so I don't even consider the usual suspects in that sector to be contenders. They have a soundstage that betters many flagship HEADPHONES. There is NO high frequency stridency (=ear fatigue). The few people who have complained about treble problems are actually hearing phase correlated noise from their DACs' PCM filters and/or feedback induced intermodulation distortion from their amplifiers. These are truly reference level transducers.

"compared to the Vega the R1 has greater quantity of bass (black filter) and I want to say better quality as well. Hits harder because it has a bit more midbass and has greater potential for eq, maybe because of the size difference (13mm vs. 9mm)..."
"Bass on the R1 hits harder, cleaner and deeper. The 2.5 has a lot more midbass and it colors the whole presentation, making it warmer and more mellow. Mids on the 2.5 are veiled and lack detail comparably, a lot more recessed..."

TashiPretty impressive comparisons. I'll probably just order from Campfire though because I know they're actually gonna send me something after I pay.
