Would Grado Rs1is sound good with classical? I know their strong points are rock, jazz, etc...
Anyway, how would they sound?

I just can't stand a full Bruckner or Mahler Symphony with these, the bumps in the response curve make them fatigue me already after the first fortissimo. |

The high of GS1000 becomes harsh and overall balance is simply wrong. On the contrary, Grace m902 or SPL Auditor plays Mahler, Prokofiev, Ravel exceptionally amazing on GS1000. |

Grados are voiced to do well with rock. They've got a few bumps in the response curve that make them sound great with electric guitars and bass. Those do not translate well to classical. . |
