Which cans has largest Soundstage and most detail?
Like the title said, if I do not care about anything else, which one? Should cost less than 400$ used and can still be found. Thanks. Also I already have HD650/580 and D2000 is on the road. I feel 650's Soundstage is pretty good but I want something bigger- alxwang
