    Depressing guys is there any pair of cans($1000) that have a massive sound stage that are neutral again i got my 712 pro's over them being rated as having a decent sound stage but i feel like it's still too much like a center speaker inside your head I should probably have more realistic goals...

    I want them for music and movies and games so the massive sound stage is for sure nice. I even like my 712's for that reason i found them to be a good poor mans option until you can move on up

    SWEET i kind of want a fix for a few years and man it just sounds like that pair of cans has been speaking for me for years Do you think the bass is the same or worse then what the AKG 712's offer? If its as good i'm ok with that

    So if i could beg you to tell me a bit more. I like neutral to "SLIGHTLY" more treble which is why i love AKG and Polk a bit One thing i do not want is slow boomy bass or a sound stage that sounds like you have a center speaker inside your head So could you list maybe a few pairs i might like...

    Sennheiser 800 HD still the best neutral openback for $1000 used?

    So for the past 6 months+ i haven't touched my headphone amp or dac as i have been listening to my Polks but last night i started to feel a bit depressed and stuff so i figured why not try my AKG 712 Pro's again. By god they smack the crap out of my Monitor 70's in mids so i was wondering is...

    How loud is 1W? Do you need 500W on a 250W RMS Speaker?

    I have to say that would be a good thing to tell the wife however "I have to listen to them at this level, if not the protection mode will kick on" What i think he has is some kind of thing that can detect clipping and save the tweeter.

    How loud is 1W? Do you need 500W on a 250W RMS Speaker?

    @amirm Based on your research and exp have you noticed that more power can change a frequency chart on the same type of amp-dac? I can understand that might be a impossible test but i would really like to see something like that if only there was a way to force a AMP into like 10W mode and...

    And DC cars too :) But i wouldn't be scared to get a nice pair of speakers if they are rated at 8ohms if i had to make an assumption it's probably more important to find efficient speakers at 90+db and 8ohm's i'm pretty sure that stresses the amp more than crazy wattage numbers. BTW Side note...
