Been eyeing this combo for quite a while now and as soon as I have the funds am going to make the purchase. I have asked in many other threads how the gilmore lite sounds with general replies. I am almost 100% sure that I will be purchasing the k701's because of their neutral sound and clarity(from what Ive read). I am not a bass head but I do like controlled bass(don't know if this is the right terminology so correct me if I'm wrong.
So right now I am kind of undecided but leaning towards the gilmore lite amp. I am open to other amps as long as they meet my needs:
-300$ max price
-solid state(don't want to go for tubes cause of price and maintence)
-good match for 701's
-quality over portability
-Clear, crisp, vivid sound over super bass heavy
Music I'm into...I like trance and a lot of music with vocals. As of now, I've become addicted to Utada Hikaru. So anything that will emphasize vocals and instrumentals I guess is what I would want.
Sorry if I don't have all the audiophile vocabulary in there, feel like such a noobie trying to explain sound =(
my current set up is ATH A-500 with PA2V2 which I feel is a little to bassy and bland.
