For classical music, which one is better?

Good question... I've got both and I'd say that the Edition9 is definitely the champ on classical piano (it can reach deep into the piano like no other can I own) but otherwise it's just personal taste. The GS1000 is geared a little bit more towards the higher frequencies (in other words, it's brighter).

This may show a little of what you get from both without saying anything about attack and delay effects of the driver.

I think my UE9 is an all rounder that does well with anything.

I'm just wondering what was the reference level in dB to create this frequency response. -20 db (and more in places) attenuation (if reference is 0dB) would be unacceptable for any headphones considering +/-3dB @1kHz IEEE standard requirement for frequency response flatness.

Then think speaker response curves and how they vary. Only a few people actually tune their rooms as good as those curves.
