I am doing a similar thing moving to speakers. Just renovated my 40sq living room layout for new hifi setup with room acoustic treatment and it's a lot of effort and tweaking to optimise. Actually after venturing to hifi, 8k is not a lot for e-stat hp with amp.
Yup, that's what smart money does
I think it is a lot for the "legendary" Hifiman build quality, the problem lies on the HE-1 and Shangri-La priced at 50k, which gives the "is not that expensive" perception of 8k for headphone and amplifier. I think that top Stax + KG amp justifies the 8k expense, not only for build quality alone but if you search there is the general consensus and reputation for "state of the art", not a single negative comment, the same can't be said about this.
Speakers and dedicated room are the way to go for more money, handsome and intelligent gentlemans like us know it
