    Closed, full-size, decent isolation, good sound....Beyerdynamic T70 or AT w1000X ???

    OK, I'm upping the budget for closed, over-ear, good isolation, primo SQ phones.  The T70 and the w1000x seem like contenders (and each is available for around $550).  Thoughts? Opinions?  Others I am overlooking?   Thanks!

    Amp recommendation for W1000X

    As title says. My tastes in traditional amplification are Classè, Burmester, ASR, Symphonic Line and only tubes i like are VAC. I like a dynamic but musical sound, with wide bandwidth and low distortion, esp in the HF. It can be class AB if done well, but it would cost too much if done with...
