Have you had any experience with Gold Lions? They seem to be pretty popular among AA'ers.

Yes, I have two pairs here. I bought them because of all the hype on AA and had them in my 2300 for about 83 hours, in the line and MM stages. I thought they sounded good, but I decided ultimately that they weren't as dynamic as I'd like, since my stereo doubles as a home theater. Listening to my reference tracks, I thought the GL's bottom lacked some punch. I get that punch with the Black Diamonds, and I had it with the JJ Hi Performance Gold Pins too.
That said, I still think the GLs are good. Who knows, perhaps I should revisit them.
