My current dilemma is finding a good system that really makes you want to "tap your feet." I am looking for fast and good impact. I have currently listened to grado SR-60's and SR-225(current phones). My problem with the 225's is that I find them lacking in lower frequencies. It may be the frontal soundstage that just isen't giving me any depth.
I listen to rock(deftones,RATM,perfect circle) and trance,electronica(dilerium,kraftwerk,tiesto) and love female vocals.
Currently I run my music through a mac mini with apple loseless straight to the SR-225s. I was thinking of getting the pico amp/dac but I am afraid that it may be the grado line that I don't like. From what I have heard the Sennheiser's are probably too laid back for me. I would like to keep from getting headphones that immediatly need to be amped. I plan on getting an amp and better dac but plan on spending ~roughly $400 used right now. Which means I would be stuck with what ever option I pick for 6 months or so before amping/dac.
Any thoughts?
edit: I don't care if they are open/closed comfortable or uncomfortable
