Ok, I've spent a little while with my knew Beyer Dt770's and while they definitely do somethings well (soundstaging, instrument seperation, Bass), I find myself longing for my SR80's still. I just can't get over the mid range and vocals that the grado's had. The bass of the Dt770's didn't really do anything for me. Another big suprise to me, was that I have thus far found the Grado's to be much more comfortable, don't ask me how that happened, it's just that the beyer's have too much pressure on the top of my head.. So I guess I am now a member of team Grado.
Onto the real question. Given my appreciation of the SR80's, I would like to move up the Grado line. The RS1's seem attractive to me but have recieved mixed reviews. The SR225's on the other hand, seem to get respect for what they do from a great deal more people. I was also planning on sending the SR225's over to headphile for a recable and woody's should I choose them. So is the extra money on the RS1 going to leave me unhappy?
Also: Another option is the SR200's with HP1000 driver's on Headphile's webpage, would those be the better option?
