long time, joseph. I've pared down my Grado crop recently, decided to keep only my PS500. Sold GS1Ki, RS1i. Very satisfied with 3 HPs now.
If you had to keep only ONE Grado below PS1K....which would it be? (older series, not e).
For me, it would be the RS2i.
Here are how I rank my Grados (all but my more recently acquired RS2e, S325i, and SR325is), and the RS2i has the highest overall score (right-most column). If I were truly keeping just one, it would be the PS1000, but you excluded that from your question.
Post in my signature gives details about this ranking (as well as a neat 4D graph comparing the 13 headphones!)
