Urgent - Purchase imminent - Grado SR325iS

[Duncan]

Hi All,
 
I'm building up my home rig again, and have myself a Burson HA160D amp - very happy with it, however - the AKG Q701s I bought don't have enough life / slam for more uptempo music...
 
My Sony Z1000s are relatively good all rounders, but - again - still not fantastic for rock / dance - As such, i'm tempted to go back to the land of Grado...
 
Eyeing up the SR325iS, but - I had the original SR325s many moons ago, and I remember them being very bright - with the Burson being relatively mellow, I'm wondering if these will be a good option to rock out to...
 
Unfortunately unable to demo, so this is going in blind - hence - would be very happy if you could give me your opinions... - If you have any alternatives that are punchy, and rich (without a harsh top end) - I'll be all ears...
 
...I have about six hours from now until the last time I can order...
 
I look forward to your thoughts

Did you get them from a UK stockist, or import them?

Try Audio Affair they have a 30 day refund period.
The Grado 325is are £315. Free delivery as well so nothing to lose.

Get a pair and send them to Rhydon to be converted to Magnums. They aren't quite as bright as the 325s -- more like the HF-1s. The full conversion might push your budget up a fair bit though.
