My vote goes to either AKG K501 with modified earpads(flattened, they have a much smoother midrange that is easily measurable and audible) and fed from a 120 ohm source jack(or adapter -- whichever you have available) or to the AKG K1000, which is great for large scale pieces, since with the...

I would like to attend. Thanks. -Chris
