New Head-Fier
Hi,
just got a somewhat "proper" rig and might need advice in setting and tweaking it, or even expanding at a later stage, so registered to the forum.
Playing with stereo speaker systems multiple times, I always ended with the conclusion I prefer to listen to even mediocre headphones, mostly because they inherently solve all those pesky room issues, I never really liked speakers without heavy studio-level room treatment that is out of the question for home use. Got me a HD650 years ago, but just now upgraded to HD800s and a schiit amplification system. Listen to a lot of classical which makes it an obvious choice, but even with the complement of the 650 not necessarily an all-rounder set that would cover every genre of music, so keeping things open to some additions later. Hopefully something from the senn/bayer/zmf or similar high-impedance stock to keep with the same amplification (Valhalla 2 amp), Would like me some planars, but that definitively asks for an additional amp. Maybe something closed and bassy from the high imp. lot, if it manages to keep it tight, clear, and without distortions?
Will see, but for now I have some months to play around with new toys
