current living circumstances are dictating a fresh purchase of the sealed can variety. I have heard that the Audio Technica ATH-L3000 is quite a nice can but hard to get, with a similar sound signature to my HD650. If this is the case I would be willing to make the sacrifice, despite their S&M party-goer set leather design (is there an audio technica mask available too?).
I am not a perpetual upgrader, so to bring me up to speed, what are the other highly rated sealed cans with that smooth and lucid sound, say up to and around $1500 US mark? if possible, please do not recommend any cans wich are universally known for a lean bottom end, or exaggerated highs, even if these can be 'cured' by careful or expensive associated matching. i have played this game, and know from my experience i will end up irritated. Others who do enjoy, or profit sonically from doing this, have my full respect. I have no problem with upgrading other compnoents if otherwise required, but see no reason to at this stage.
I have been very happy with the HD650 and will definitely keep hold of them, but a new purchase may as well represent an upgrade if at all possible. given my location, auditioning sessions are currently hard to come by, so i am relying on research to guide me. this proved successful with my HD650 purchse.
any associated links etc would be much appreciated as well.
i listen to classical, folk rock, and some trance.
