i did say that they're great for what they're worth. i guess what i was trying to say is that they only give you a taste of what higher end grados can do.

I disagree. Having owned all the models in the SR line, I have come to prefer the SR-80--and possibly even the SR-60--to the 225. : )

Right now, at work, straight from my computer drive, the [AK]Zip HA-1, MK.II drives the SR-80 to satisfying effect. In all honesty, though, if someone were to swap me even: the SR-225 for the SR-80, I certainly wouldn't refuse. : )

pataburd is right, there is no such progress when switching from the SR60's to the SR225's as when switching from the SR225's to the SR325i's or RS series. All is a matter of synergy and appropriate sound quality starting from the source. The better my equipment gets, the more respect I have for the Grado's.

um no. They sound like $150 cans, but cost $69. They are that good.

Yes they are...no they're not...yes they are...no they're not...yes they are...

What a waste of three minutes of my time...

Plan on "wasting" a lot more time, then, if you keep frequenting these threads.

That depends on the Grados and the set-up. My Black Dragon GS1000s seem to excel at many genres. Duffy sounded gorgeous last night

I've heard all but the rs-2s & MS-Pro. I like the RS-1s and the MS-2i. With a tube amp that lets you tube roll the gain tube, you can find your sound with these two hps. Neither will do all things exceptional but for what Grados are used for (rock and uptempo), these two cover the spread. RS-1s do live acoustic and small venue jazz while the MS-2i do electronic and electric nicely.

IMO

The Grado's are not for everyone. Perhaps they are simply not for you...

I don't like olives.

Could someone please explain that to me?
