As someone who owns the LCD-2 and has previously owned the LCD-3, I would say the LCD-3 is not "worth" the price difference. At that level, which one is superior is less a matter of technical capabilities, but rather sound signature preference for the listener. Basically, you're just as likely to prefer one to the other. <br /><br />Also, given the MSRP, even if the LCD-3 were to be offered, I am doubtful it would hit the required # of buyers to make the drop successful (I'd guess it'd be at least five). The LCD-2 is much more realistic of a drop; just look at the STAX system right now, which I did end up joining. Those prices necessarily mean the majority of Massdropers won't be willing or able to participate, and the LCD-3 is veering the range of 50-100% more than even that.
