I recently purchased total bithead to fill my headophile needs, and now plan to purchase a closed headphone. From what i've seen, k271,DT770 and A900 seem to be pretty good and around my budget. But are there any other headphones that I should consider? I'm looking for good soundstage and not-so-recessed midrange (like A900). And if so, would my TBH be powerful enough to drive them?
Yep. Look at my tag line to see all the headphones that I own that the TBH will drive equally well. That new gain switch is a godsend (OK, a Tyell-send, but who's counting).

x2. I drive 600 ohms with the Bithead sometimes. It's not exactly liquid at that impedance - it can't bring out the very best of my cans - but it sounds pretty good. There's lots of gain, plenty of bass and no noticeable distortion. 250 ohms should be no problem at all.
