When will the Grados do classical well?
Not all music sound the best on any given headphones - and I do love Grados on female vocal, but on some acoustic instruments, they fail to capture the magic. Especially true on violin - sounds tiny, and lacks body to the sound. Many of the US and Japanese audio fail in this respect.
Europians have done a better job with classical music instruments - after all, it's their culture...
Granted that 90 some % of the listeners are non-classical music lovers, but violin is heard in most of the pop music accompaniment.
If you have a chance, you might want to mention this to the Grado people.
I do love their audiophile quality, so I want to see them do even better at reproducing classical acoustic instruments.
To some people, realism is important part of enjoying music. If the Grado people heard a Stradivarius violin alive, or a Steinway piano in a concert (front seat by the way), this experience might produce new wonderful products.
I want to thank them for the sr60 - what a improvement over stock headphones that come with mp3, at a reasonable price. Very comfy too - we all know how improtant that can be.
