I listen largely to classical and jazz. Most of my classical collection is relatively hi-fi. But much of my jazz is vintage recordings, like live mono sessions from the 30's or 40's.
For these recordings, my MS1's are lousy. My KSC-75's and Portapros are better. However, I am not the kind of listener who wants to keep switching phones depending on the tune. I am thinking of getting AD700s because they will be better for classical listening, but I'm wondering if they will help with these ancient recordings.
If not, are there any suggestions for more generous phones that would not compromise the sq of the better stuff? Or is it always, the better the phones, the worse my vintage tunes will sound?
Thanks.
