My vote would be for the PS1000 and L3000. Honorable mention goes to the DX1000 and Ed9. Disclaimer - I have not heard many of the more recently released phones - Ed8, T1 and LCD2 (but apparently I should be receiving the LCD2 soon). Also, for my tastes dynamic phones have more impact than stats and are better suited for rock. There are many who would disagree and I have been tempted to purchase the Stax 4070 for my bedroom rig but the price of the phone in addition to another amp as well as attempting to explain to my spouse why I need not one but two amplifiers in the bedroomhas held me back.
I am a stat man myself but accept that stats are not always satisfactory with rock because so many rock recordings are poorly produced by being excessively equalized with excess treble and limited dynamics. You will probably not go too far wrong with such recordings with a bass-heavy dynamic even though such phones may sound like crap on more balanced recordings. The bass boost will mask the treble emphasis and create a pleasing but false sense of bass dynamics.
The stats being more revealing tend to show these defects. Any phone stat or dynamic that is bright will probably sound shrill with such recordings. Some stats that will work well even with such crappy recordings include the Stax Sigmas, and inexpensive 003's. The 007 can be pretty good but is expensive and picky about amps. Those that I would not recommend are the old SRXIII (too little bass) although the SR5 of comparable vintage may be better. I did not like my various Lambdas (LNS, 404 and Nova) in this role but with the back foam removed I find them acceptable.
On the other hand if you do haqve some well-recorded rock, (I think Pink Floyd's Wall) high definition stats will give a stunning experience.
