Hi AudioTechnica lovers!
How do the ATH A-900 and ATH W-1000 compare, soundwise?
I've searched the forum, but didn't find much about the ATH W-1000 (it appeared in one review), and no comparison with the A-900.
Is the ATH W-1000 more balanced?
I like music where vocals are important, folk, classical music, easy jazz, and less rock...
I read that the A-900 does not necessitate a dedicated amp (though benefits of it, of course).
What about the W-1000?
I am considering buying the W-1000 first, and an amp only in a second stage, moneywise...
Also, I saw the post of a W-5000 owner, who finds that sound leaks too much out of these closed cans. How does it compare to cans like the DT-880? If these (and other) closed cans leak, why not go open?
Thanks!
David
