I got my eyes on some Grados at my friend's store, and am almost definitely gonna get them sooner or later. With his employee discounts, the SR60's can go for $60 and the SR80's can go for about $80 (these prices are after tax, and in US dollars)
I own a Panasonic SL-SX510, and chose the Grados mainly because of their rave reviews and 95% positive feedback, including Grado's reputation as the best choice for great sound on a "low budget". Personally the looks have really grown on me, and I think that Grados look beautiful in their own way.
I want to avoid using an amp, and so I was wondering which would sound best for the money --- without an amplifier.
Are the SR80's still worth the extra $20 without the use of an amp? (Keep in mind that I am very low on cash, and I am obsessed with Grados)
PS. Does the new Grado lineup (arriving in Fall) have any changes I should know about, aside from different earpads?
Thanks in advance, guys, I really appreciate your help.
