Why not the PC12-NSD?  I love mine in the lower level man cave.  However, my wife totally dislikes it.  With a 2.1 music system, it will jar the fillings in your teeth with some music tracks.

One word, in plural: CATS
 
I love the cylinder subs- everything about them, and it would look awesome with my Ohm Micro Walsh Tall speakers.  But it's basically a $700 scratching post!

Oh man... you could look for anything like the Urbanears Plattan (or a cheap Chinese Ebay PC headset) and salvage the headband... there's also a Sony headband that works (don't remember which one off handed) OR just bug Grado and maybe get another.

Here's the option.  The Sony 7506 headband.

I've used one before and it is excellent. In fact, I think I like it better than the standard Grado band and gimbals.  The Sony band has silver letters on the top of the band indicating "Studio Monitor".  I found that using a small amount of acetone allowed me to remove the painted letters for a completely black band.  Plus it is a very comfortable band with padding.  If you use this band, you don't need to buy a padded leather band for your Grados.

Send an email to Grado (info@gradolabs.com) with a description of what happened and picture of the broken component.
Grado will likely replace whatever is broken free of charge as long as you demonstrate you are repairing a broken pair of Grados.

I find the Sony 7506 band very comfortable and it's easily adjusted. It does have a little more clamping force than the grado headband, at least my pair. $20 is a pretty reasonable price too. Different look though.
