Metaxas Marquis

摘要

Headphones now rule - period -and as a vivid illustration of the current profusion of cans, I was staggered to see, at a store in Tokyo, a selection of something like 1500 headphones, and with plenty of high-end brands notable by their absence. Metaxas' Marquis 'Memento Mori' ('Remember that you must die'), unsurprisingly, wasn't among them. It costs £6000 and is, one suspects, rather exclusive. But I point out the propagation of headphones and headphone amps over the past few years to show you how broad the field is, as opposed to indicating what is this unit's competition. That's because -if you look at it - it has none.
