Hello,
 
For rocks music, I highly, highly [yes, twice xD] recommend Grado! Given you already have a tube amp, it will be a great benefit for the Grados as it adds warm to the sound and making it a more energetic headphone to listen to. Not sure about the output impedance though
 
 
Hope it helps,

Hey, i was searching for some bravo models,how are they with comfort?The earpads look (too)small, this is why I am asking.
Tnx


Out Of the box, the clamping force may be too high and pads can be too stiff. What I recommend you to do is to streth the headband or put it over some thick books to release the clamping and wash the pads (remove it first) with warm water (not too hot). They feel much more comfortable after following these two steps in my opinion.

  Thank you! Which is the best grado model in my price range?


Sr225i, if you want a new pair. I think you could get SR325is used for about 200 euro (there were plenty sr325is < 200$ + shipping + Vat <200 euro on the For Sale part of this forum).
I wouldn't call Grado neutral, if you have a chance, try auditioning any of the Grado before buying.

+1 to this! Not the world most neutral sounding headphone but in my opinion, its excellent for rocks :)
