I'm looking for a headphone with expansive soundstage and great bass response primarily for movie watching.
Between these two, which do you thinkg would provide a more satisfying experience? I have plenty of amplification power to drive either, and will be using a reciever with a dolby headphone processor as a preamp signal.
I am admittedly a fan of the Grado-ish sound, as the MS-2's are my top of the line phone right now. However, I think I'd like to try something with a larger soundstage to better convey the surround effects of movies. The GS-1000 is refuted to have great soundstage and solid bass. My main concern with it is a lack of midrange clarity when used on dialouge intense movie material.
The HD650 seems like a solid all around performer, and is a fair bit cheaper. It will probably out-perform the GS-1000 in the mids, but will it soundstage be as large and will the bass be as solid?
Thanks for your input.
