I need some help. My father (61) spent the 70's listening to a high end B&O stereo, quad speakers with the cleanest sound you could get at that time. He specifically bought with clarity NOT bass and power in mind.
Fast forward to now. To save space and lighten up the decor, as time goes by, the B&O system was sold. He now has just a surround sound set-up geared toward movies.
However, his desire for good clean true to life sound has never wavered. I bought him a set of Creative canals (the Sennheiser ones) and he loves them. He is however aware of their limitations. He wants more out of his cans.
My question is this: Can I get him soemthing, either straight cans or with an amp, that will give him that big clean sound? Can it be done for under $200?
I realize I may be asking for a lot here, but I assume I can get him into something that will wow him in that range. I need though.
His one major caveat, they cannot be hot! He tried a pair of my brother's Sony V6's and complained they were hot.
Thanks for the help.
