I very much like my K601s and although I haven't heard the K701 I understand the 601 is warmer. I don't want to lose this warmth, but I am looking for more definition. Music tastes are all across the board but mostly acoustic, jazz & electronica.
The W5000 is often described as a detail monster, but ATs generally are also described as more "fun" than AKGs, which I interpret as being coloured and perhaps therefore warmer ? So... Is the W5000 what I'm looking for as an upgrade to my 601s ? I already have the ESW9 and don't seem to mind closed cans. If I went down this route I'd consider the HA-02 as a possible amp.
