I don't listen to classical, but for rock...I didn't like them. I thought they were a little artificial sounding. They were decent for electronic and jazz, but for some reason...I moved back to my PortaPro's. Much more natural sound IMO. I boosted the bass quite a bit on the Q460 which pushed it into an area that it doesn't necessarily shine. For stuff like Tosca, Walkner Mostl, Kruder and Dorfmeister, Spacemen, etc...they did pretty well b/c the music has so many unnatural sounds to it to begin with. A really good acoustic kick drum on something like John Mayer or RHCP didn't sound natural.
I think for the money...the PP's are more versatile.
I'm going to try my Turbine's when I get home...FedEx delivered them today. If I don't like those, then I'm going to bite the bullet and go ZX700 or M50. I'm tired of messing around with all this mamby-pamby crap trying to get sound that surpasses the PP.
My opinion...I wouldn't waste my time with Quincy Jones.
