Symphones Magnums is a line of modded Grados from Martin Custom audio that sells for about $500 - 600 new, if I'm not wrong. I've not heard them myself. Magnums are based on 325/MS2 with entirely new cups and modded drivers.
As of Grado materials I think it goes like this:
- SR60 - SR225 + MS1: entirely plastic
- SR325 + MS2: aluminum (with a lot of plastic inside, though?)
- RS2, RS1, MS Pro, GS1k: mahogany
- PS500 + PS1k: mahogany inside, aluminum outside
don't forget the two "hf" series headphones, the hf1 and hf2. both are hybrids, the hf1 has mahogany cups with plastic grills and the hf2 is more like the ps500/ps1000 with mahogany cups and aluminum outside/grills.
