I finally heard the Proline 2500 yesterday (apparently at the National meet I only heard the 2200ULE's). Using a Meridian G08 source & Rudistor NX-33 amp run together in a balanced configuration, the Ultrasones sounded horrible - completely muddy throughout the bass & midrange FR's and no highs. Unlistenable to these ears, and easily bested by Sennheiser HD600 and Beyerdynamic DT880's, both of which cost less.

Do yourself a favor, look elsewhere. Anywhere.
