I'm rephrasing an earlier post that I fear might have been overly specific, and I want to make sure I'm getting as broad a set of recommendations as possible before I pull the trigger. I wear listen to music constantly at the office and usually rely on my IEMs, but some recurrent ear issues have led me to conclude to move back to circumaural gear. While I listen to a broad range of music, 90% of the time it's classical. Sometimes something pure and simple like Bach solo cello suites, but sometimes big boomy things like Beethoven and Mahler symponies. I want the cello to sound like a cello. With the Beethoven, I want to feel the power but also be able to hear the detail and make sure that, say, the soloists during the 4th movement of the 9th don't get lost in the wall of sound. Bass has to be there when required, but boosted bass is anathema to me.
In that earlier thread the focus was on neutral cans, but really only because that's what I know. I want to open up to other possibilities.
Thanks.
