I know what you mean about being in love with just one set of cans. I have the same situation with the similarities between the MS2i and my speaker system. I am more than satisfied with the current status quo of cans for rock and speakers for everything else, but I'd really like to get another set of cans to cover the classical and jazz side while leaving the really big orchestral stuff and the movies for the speakers. But I'd like the "other" phones to have the same "sound" as the remainder of the speakers/cans. And that's why I'm starting to think of MS-Pro with it's even greater soundstage than MS2i, and other helpfull capabilities, mated with tubes to further seperate it from the MS2i and give me perhaps a more complementary set-up but with the same familiar "sound" that I worked for years to put together. I had originally strongly considered HD650 with Glite or K701 with tubes as real possibilities, but the fear of finding something I like better than my MS2i and speakers combination is more than just a little scarry at the moment! It was shock enough to find that my cans are now seriously intruding into my speakers territory!!

Difficult, isn't it? What can I get to compliment/compete with HD650? W5000 may be? Opinions/suggestions? Anyone? |
