I've searched Head-Fi, but haven't found a thread specifically comparing these two cans overall, across genres, etc.
The Situation
I own the PRO 900s and love them. Decent soundstage, good mids and highs, fantastic bass. Without a doubt, these are the best headphones I've owned.
Unfortunately, as happy as I am with them, I'm wondering if it might be time to do a Spinal Tap and go "one louder". The only can that I've read about that seems like it can compete with the 900s' bass, etc. without crossing into Ed. 8 price territory is the Denon D7000.
I've found them new for around $600, which after potentially selling the 900s isn't too expensive of an upgrade.
The Big Question
For those of you that have owned/heard both, this is the question: is the D7000 a decent upgrade from 900? Will the bass, especially the low, low frequencies, still be as punchy and authoritative? Will the mids and highs be cleaner and clearer? Soundstage?
I listen to an eclectic mix of acoustic, rock, trance and classical, with a bit of movie watching thrown in. So the real question is, will the D7000s give me a better overall experience, without sacrificing the traits of the 900 (especially bass) that I love so much? Or, should I just be happy with what I have (which--let's be real--probably entails never visiting this site again)? Thanks in advance for the input.
