I only have the 5000's and I much prefer them over the HD650's so What's the 800's gonna do for me? Or is it just more hype

I already expect to loose about 200.00 from what I paid for them just a month ago. Simply because I prefer the Denon flavour over the Grado does not mean that someone else won't love them. After all there are hundreds of Grado Fans out there that would give thier left nut for a pair of 1000's. |

When my 420.00 low impedence Denon's far outshine the uamped stock product. But as with everthing Head-fi "Sorry About Your Wallet" this is a dilemna which is unresolvable |
