Okay guys I'm thinking of splurging on these bad boys.
http://www.lawtonaudio.com/page5.html
First and foremost I just got an Audio GD-FUN (Version A -- AD1852, DIR9001) and it seems it's got more than enough power for my HD595 (Sennheiser) cans right now so I'm sure it can power the Denon's, but does anyone have experience with this combo...is it a good fit for the Denon?
Secondly the sound signature I'm looking for is an open / Grado type of sound. I have a pair of entry level Grados and I've heard the AH-D7000s plugged into a Benchmark DAC PRE 1 and I loved them so considering I enjoyed that sound would I be disappointed upgrading the D2000 to the LA2000?
Thirdly the type of music I listen to is (rock, trance/techno, and classical). I do not care about how they'll sound with jazz, opera, and acoustical as this is not my genre to listen to. I want some serious thunderous bass.
Only other can I've listened to up in that price range is the Grado RS1 hooked up to a tube amp in a mom & pop shop. It sounded nice but I'm still suckering for the AH-D7000 sound.
So is it better for me to just do a modded D2000 to LA2000, splurge on the D7000 & leave it alone, or look somewhere else totally different?
My gripe with my current can (Sennheiser HD595) is even though it has decent bass I want more...plus the midrange could be a bit more pronounced.
