sorry for another "what should I get" thread.
anyhow, I love my kramer-modded ksc75s. my set-up is a 5G iPod (refurb) connected to a mini^fied PINT by an ALO Bling Bling. i listen to, primarily rock; classic, alternative, alt-country, acoustic, prog, etc.
I've found my sr80s to be way too harsh and my system seems to run out of steam before my akg501s can open up. plus, for me the sound stage of the 501s is too broad for what I listen to and they'd need more foundation than they provide.
the ksc75s, on the other hand, allow me to simply get into the music. there's a nice airiness to their presentation. please excuse me as I'm not really able to put into writing what it is that appeals to me about them other than to say that I find that I'm simply enjoying the music through them. with them, I'm able to listen to music, not just to the equipment.
but, thanks in part to head-fi, I find myself yearning for a higher level of satisfaction. I'd like to leave the rest of my set-up as-is for the time being, if possible. I've made ample use of the search function but I still wonder if I should get either the MS-1s, sr225s or go all out for a pair of MS2s? It's not about the total expenditure if that makes any sense so, for now it's about adding a new pair of headphones to my existing gear. (I plan to put the sr80s and k501s up for sale after I reach the 50+ post level). From what I've been able to read about the alesandros, the MS2s really appeal to me but not if my gear won't adequately handle them. I'm sure that I'll eventually upgrade the rest, but for now, as I have a [wonderful] wife, i can only get away with adding one new part of the puzzle. help me upgrade.
