Looking at a pair of cans for something different. Currently have nothing and have not owned anything decent.
My current setup is a HT one (ie loudspeakers), source is a HTPC with MAudio Revo 5.1 feed SPDIF to a Panny XR45 full digital AVR (see AVS, Audiocircle etc on how impressive this little suckers are
), mains are Quad 12L's (on Nordost Solar Wind).
I guess im looking at an improved sound to this, only for 2ch music. Im happy with my 2ch "loud" setup, but times when phones would be good.
The Quad 12L's are quite a fast accurate speaker, the XR45 is very clean, dynamic and speedy, plenty of snap and loads of resolution (this AVR was a huge upgrade from my old Denon 1802, and prefered after much demoing for 2ch vs Denon 3805).
I guess maybe im not chasing the "exact" same sound as something different can often be nice.
Music tastes vary from some heavy stuff to vocals etc
I was thinking maybe some 555's or similar?
I'm after decent sound........ im thinking better than my "loud" sound (not sure how phone's compare do to very little experience)...... then i fear TOO good sound and never going back to 2ch on the loud system
haha.
