take a look on Audio-Technica ATH-Ax00 series. They provide good sound stage, nice treble, and great comfortable.

anyway, if your budget is enough for MS-pro, you should also look for the Audio Technica ATH-W5000s. They are very good for classical, IMO.

MS-Pro will be for me I'm not so into classical, lol.

Let him try your K271s. Most receivers will drive them or any AKG sufficiently. If he likes them, then he likes the AKG house sound. I have K701's the original K240M and do listen to classical. I reckon the K501's, if you can find them, would be a fine choice.

Today, while listening to Mozart's sublime Don Giovanni on Harmonia Mundi (France) I again compared my Alessandro MS1s to my Sennheiser HD600s and AKG K701s and decided I prefer the MS1s using my well loved Little Dot MKIV SE ($400) tube amp. I like the MS1s better because they're more comfortable (a very personal judgement!), they're lighter on their feet (more balletic!), more in your face and therefore much more fun. Before you assume more expensive Grados/ Alessandros are worth the extra money check out the topics here at HeadFi that cast doubt on this. I auditioned SR325is (MS2i) for a month and returned them because their bass muddied the midrange and, unlike my HD600s and K701s, they had little soundstage. HOWEVER, the SR325is are a lot of fun so I missed them and that's why I bought MS1s because for $99 including WW shipping they have all of the fun of the SR325i (MS2i) and their bass doesn't pollute the midrange and they don't have that stiff $300 price tag of the SR325is and MS2is.
