You need to ditch that Grado RA-1, Dave. It's okay for an RS-1, but for Sennheisers you can do way better for cheaper.

Uuuuh? I'm very new, please throw some names at me!!
Like, would I have been better off straight away with a Little Dot MKV??
I plan to buy more headphones, maybe I should keep the Grado anyway, save a little and get out there...y'know, I always wondered if I made the right choice with that thing...

No, I don't think so.

It could be, if he's using those equalizers properly.

If you have to tell what the power consumption is, it's not very high end.

Nelson Pass might disagree with you.
Of course, he would laugh at your 5800 watts. That literally means almost nothing. Into how many ohms? All channels driven, or one channel driven? What kind of THD are we looking at for those 5800 watts? Those numbers (and many more like them) are what tell us about high end.
Also, from the pictures, it looks like you're just using the EQ units down there "to taste". Have you tested for room resonances at your listening position? Have you attempted to correct for crossover imbalances?
I have no intention of judging your big black boxes, but I'm going to guess there are more accurate systems on here that cost less money and are less obtrusive.

Wall of sound approach to high end...
If it has enough power that thing should crank......
high end... not for me... but still impressive...
Cheers,
