Any SSAV or Richer Sounds shops in your area?

All my headphones have a 2.5 metre cable, except for the Grado's, which I've got a Grado extension cable for. You'll be fine (y)

Oh blimey, just seen the price!

Far too much just waiting to go wrong there after three years of ownership. If that :)

I'll stick with my old Honeywell roomstat. Simple is best for me :)

When I was working I used to have it on timer. Since retiring, three years ago, I leave it on constant and control it by the roomstat in the lounge, turning it down when I go to bed. But it clicks in an out during the day at my 20 degree setting in cold weather. The walls already had cavity wall...

If you've got a head-amp not much. just don't plug a high impedance set into a mobile device and expect loads of volume:)

Wouldn't bother with the 650's if you already have the the 600's. There's the 660's but I've never heard them. Got my 800's when SSAV were selling them at a reduced price and 0% interest :)

You've just described my Sennheiser HD800's, Jason :)

Most of the newer kit is doing it automatically. I recently bought and android phone and tablet. Both max out at 80% charge, regardless of how long they're plugged in for.

My 2p's worth. I've never heard planar's so can't comment. But if you're looking for soundstage Sennheiser HD800 range are very good. When I first got mine I thought they were great, then went off them and preferred HD650 for the enhanced bass. Went back to the HD800S a couple of months ago and...

I believe they source tweeters from SEAS, Norway.

It is one of their main selling points, plus I think they sound great(y)

Yeah, I do remember them. I've also owned a few Fred Flintstone cars in my youth with holes in the floor under the mat :) Bit of a bu**er if you drove through a deep ford:)

Then on that premise you may as well say that there are no British made speakers at all, as I doubt any manufacturer sources all their components in house or locally.
