after the denon ah-d7000 arrived last december 2008, I have not used my sennheiser hd 650. whatever great bass or handling of beethoven and bach i loved with the 650 is a bit better on the denon ah-d7000.

there is a slight loss of neutrality on the denon ah-d7000 compared carefully with the hd 650. on music like vivaldi's 4 seasons or small violin pieces. here, i much rather use the grado gs1000i over either denon or senny hd 650.

so in short, if you love your hd 650. the denon ah-d7000 will improve on that with classical. if you love rock, the denon ah-d7000 is very exciting!

the following combo is about the best that i have ever heard led zep 4!
