Well, I'm currently gaming on some Sennheiser HD280 Pro sans amp (as they don't really need one when hooked up to the computer), and they're already drastically better than using speakers. I'm just not so into them for things other than gaming -- the sound isn't bad, it's just not great (anemic bass, soundstage is way too limited, etc.). And for $600-700, I can get myself a decent enough amp, DAC, and pair of headphones, which is way cheaper than getting similar sound out of a hi-fi speaker setup (with its own distinct advantages in situations where I just can't turn up the sound as loud as I'd like -- which is pretty common!).
The ProSonus CS looks like it might be perfect for me. Northern Sound and Lighting has it listed way too high, of course, but I see it elsewhere (at places with decent feedback) for $425, or so, which is well under budget, and would put me at around $650 for headphones and amp/DAC, with decent upgrade options.
Am I looking at this right?
