    Arya/Ananda Hybrid

    Hey ASR, I'm looking for a pair of headphones somewhere between Arya/Ananda (price doesn't matter). I love the tonality and in your face of the Ananda but if it was separated another foot or two it would be perfect for my taste. Has anyone found a headphone that is somewhere in the middle of...
