Now that i've got a decent amp, the Maverick D1 - will this have enough power to give the K701 decent bass? I'm used to the Grado sound (SR80s are my current phones.)
From what I hear the K701s are a bit weak on bass unless they are matched to the right amp, and that they are picky about that. I've had my eye on the K701s for awhile now (really like the look and build quality) and have heard them called one of the hoiy trinity of headphones, I just wonder if its right for me.
Would I be better off going for a higher model Grado, or in an entirely different direction like the K601 or something else? I like the bass of the Grados but sometimes find their highs a bit fatiguing, not to mention their build isn't so good for long listening sessions. Main listening material will be Rock, Jazz, and Metal mostly.
