now before the influx of GET GRADOS I recently sold off my 80i's in hopes of getting some vintage RS-2. That quickly went out the window and I have herd pretty polarizing things about the rs-2i and rs-1i; not to mention I HATE the sibilance of the 80i's and 325is. Some say that the rs-x series are silky smooth, others say the rs-xi are as sibilant so the rest. So on my quest once more I was drawn to the Beyer Dynamic DT880, I hear they are really lovely. BUT my question is do they have the energy and the clarity in the highs to shine with rock/metal? Frequency graphs show that they are a bit rolled off in the high's MUCH more than a grado but that was expected. I have a fairly dark amp and I could probably power the 600 OHM model relatively well.
