I don't understand - what's the purpose of comparing the SR60/80/125/225 with each other?

People dismiss the SR-60 for its price, but its graph competes well against the other Grados.

Yes sir.
EDIT: Do you know which pads were used for testing? Was it stock?

Who dismiss SR60? It probably has one of the best price/performance ratio

I'm pretty sure it was stock. The folks at Headroom would have taken it as it's sold. Having swapped pads on mine a number of ways, I can honestly say that a change of pads can make a world of difference. With doughnuts, the SR-60 opened up noticeably. As it already has better bass than any of the rivals listed here - at least up to 2 kHz - opening up the sound by at least adopting doughnuts makes a world of difference.
When I swapped the doughnuts out for the G-Cush coconuts, I got an even wider soundstage but at the expense of bass. On the other hand, after cutting back on the cushions a few millimeters, I ended up with a wide but not sibilant soundstage and the bass was back with a vengeance.

I'm speaking of the assumption that the SR-60 is the bottom of the Grado foodchain (apart from the iGrado) and that one automatically gets better sound by buying one's way up the product line. I was on a discussion sometime back when that assumption hit me as questionable. Going back to the graphs, I was surprised to find that, up through about 2 kHz, the SR-60 outperforms the other Prestige offerings. It's from 2-3 kHz where the SR-60 gets overtaken by other Grado cans, yet these tests are with the SR-60 using its stock flats.

Evidently, that it doesn't cost enough.

lol
Forget the HeadRoom graphs (no offense to them intended), I feel they aren't representative of a headphone's sound. They scarcely concur with what I hear, if at all. =\
Edit: Grados rock, that is all.
