if I increase the price, what about K271s? does this guy fit?

I like to hearing piano, symphony, and human voice. So the soundstage should be good, and mid and high should be good, of cos, I need high detail of music. I do not like to much quantity of bass, but should have good quality, fast, focus, deep,etc. Is there any model can fit my...
